Millstones are timeless events that show progress in the project. Millstones are significant points or achievements in the project lifecycle that indicate the completion of a major deliverable, phase, or stage. Millstones are typically achieved at the end of each phase in the project lifecycle, such as initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control, and closure. Millstones help to measure and communicate the project status, performance, and results, and to ensure the alignment and satisfaction of the project stakeholders12. Achievements are the outcomes or results of the project that fulfill the project objectives and deliver value to the project stakeholders. Achievements are not necessarily timeless events that show progress in the project, as they may occur at any point in the project lifecycle, depending on the nature and scope of the project. Achievements help to evaluate and demonstrate the project success, quality, and benefits, and to justify the project investment and resources34. Phases are the stages or segments of the project lifecycle that divide the project into manageable and logical units. Phases are not timeless events that show progress in the project, as they are the periods of time during which the project activities and tasks are performed and the project deliverables are produced. Phases help to organize and structure the project work, scope, and schedule, and to apply the appropriate methods, tools, and techniques for each phase1 . Templates are the standardized documents or formats that are used to plan, execute, and control the project. Templates are not timeless events that show progress in the project, as they are the tools or aids that facilitate the project management processes and practices. Templates help to ensure the consistency, completeness, and quality of the project documentation, communication, and reporting1 . References:
