What is a 'milestone' in the context of project management?

A task that must be completed before the project can proceed
An in-depth review of project progress
A significant point or event in a project, program, or portfolio
The final deliverable of a project

The correct answer is: A significant point or event in a project, program, or portfolio

In the context of project management, a milestone is a significant point or event that marks a key stage of progress in a project, program, or portfolio. Milestones are used to track important achievements and monitor the overall progress of a project. They are not tasks that must be completed before the project can proceed (Option A), an in-depth review of project progress (Option B), or the final deliverable of a project (Option D). Instead, milestones are critical points that help project managers and stakeholders gauge the project's advancement and performance.
