A milestone is a significant event that marks the completion of a work package or phase. When developing a payment profile for a project, it can be helpful to link instalment payments to milestones such as completion of work packages or the fulfilment of a project deliverable. This creates an incentive for the provider to undertake timely performance throughout the project. See also Incentives and Payment Profile.
