“What symbol do I use for a
critical milestone?”
If your company does not have a
standard symbology set, then the answer is
“whichever symbol you want to use.”
However, if you are attempting
to standardize the symbology used in project
reports, here are few tips:
-
Use simple, intuitive symbol
choices
-
Be consistent in applying the symbology
-
Clearly define the meaning of
each symbol in a legend

Below is an example of intuitive
symbology based on the following logic:
-
Green for starting activities
-
Red for finishing activities
-
Yellow for “on hold”
-
Check-mark for completed
-
Up arrow to start
-
Down arrow for completion
-
Slash mark for changed date
-
Circle or similarly mark critical milestones
-
A package for a deliverable
-
Once your symbology is
established save the format to be re-used for
the next schedule or shared with a colleague.
