Project milestones

We deliver against agreed milestones rather than disappearing for weeks and reappearing with a finished product. Milestones make progress visible, surface problems early, and give you natural points to give feedback.

What a milestone is

A milestone is a meaningful, verifiable chunk of the project — something you can see, test, or sign off. "Network design approved," "core cabling installed and tested," or "billing module live in staging" are milestones. "Worked on it for two weeks" is not.

Each milestone has:

• A clear deliverable — what exists when it's done.
• Acceptance criteria — how we both know it's actually finished.
• A target date from the proposal timeline.

Why we work this way

• Progress is visible. You always know how far along the project is, not just how many hours were spent.
• Problems surface early. If something is going to slip, it shows up at a milestone boundary while there's still time to adjust — not at the end.
• Feedback lands at the right time. You review work in meaningful increments, so course corrections are cheap instead of expensive rewrites.
• Payment can track delivery. For project work, payment is often tied to milestones, so you pay for progress you can see.

Handling change

Requirements evolve — that's normal. When a change affects scope, timeline, or cost, we make the trade-off explicit: here's what it adds, here's what it pushes, here's the cost. You decide. Nothing material changes silently.

Every project ships against agreed milestones, so progress is visible rather than a surprise at the end.

At the final milestone

The last milestone is delivery and handover — not just "the code is done," but you have what you need to operate and own the result. That's covered in Handover and documentation.
