Milestone Calendar

What it does

• Payment milestones and delivery milestones drift apart without one view.
• The calendar places invoices next to the work they depend on.
• A milestone without a client action has a visible gap.

How to use it

1. Invoice before the deliverable, not after the approval.
2. Name the client action that unlocks each milestone.
3. Keep the calendar to one screen; a long plan is not read.
4. Move a milestone rather than compressing two into one week.

Safety notes

• A calendar with no payment dates is a wish list.
• Do not start a milestone whose client action is still open.
