Definition
Milestones are used as indicators to track progress toward a specific goal or event. There are three types of SAFe milestones:
- Program Increment (PI): They’re used to help objectively evaluate progress towards the technical/business hypothesis. Occur on PI cadence.
- Fixed-date: Do not occur on cadence. Used for factors that rely on external events, third-party deliverables, and external constraints.
- Learning milestones: They’re used to help validate business opportunities and hypothesis.
