bullet icon What is the difference between an event and a milestone?

A milestone is a goal or marker you aspire to complete for a set of tasks. A milestone can be linked to a task list, and you can follow the progress of that milestone as you accomplish things on your task list. A project milestone is a way to track how far the project has progressed. Because project milestones are the most visible evidence of project progress, milestone planning is an essential aspect of project planning. An event is not linked to a task but rather to your calendar. Seminars, meetings, special events, and other events are examples.
