Several AACE recommended practices (RP) mention that the scheduler should specifically consider milestones in creating and reviewing the typical construction schedule. These RPs do not detail what should be considered when reviewing milestones. It is not enough for the scheduler to look at them and hope that something 'pops out.' Advanced schedulers should focus on a list of specific topics. This article discusses the hows and whys of the proper use of milestones in CPM schedules and how to make better schedules. From baseline schedules to schedule updates, this handy guide gives advanced schedulers more tools to ensure better schedules and better run projects. This article was first presented as PS-4151 at the 2023 AACE International Conference & Expo.
