Milestone | Glossary

 

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.
