A milestone is a specific point in time that marks a significant event or achievement for the ART or
Solution Train. A milestone can indicate a market window occurrence during a PI, which is a limited
period of time in which a product or service can be launched to gain a competitive advantage or
meet a customer demand. A milestone can help the ART or Solution Train align their delivery with
the market window, and communicate their progress and readiness to the stakeholders.
