Deliverable Name

Enter the name of the deliverable. This field is required.
|
||
Subject
|
Click the Find button to search for and select the object that is to be delivered by the due date.
|
||
Activity
|
Select the activity to which the deliverable is related. The schedule information of the activity is then associated with the deliverable. The drop-down list contains a complete list of all of the plan activities in your project or program. You can associate one or more deliverables with an activity but it is generally best to associate a single deliverable with an activity to more accurately track progress of the individual deliverables through the activities. The percentage complete for the activity will not reflect the percentage complete of any associated deliverables. The activity estimated finish date is automatically defined to be equal to the estimated finish date of the latest finishing deliverable. You can override the activity duration to define a finish date that is earlier or later than the estimated finish of the latest finishing deliverable.
|

Milestones
|
Enter the milestone associated with this deliverable. You can enter the number of the plan object sequence. For example, if the milestone you want to associate is ID number 2 in the plan sequence, enter 2 in the field. You can also click Select to choose milestones from the list of those available in the project or program. The schedule information of the milestone is then associated with the deliverable. Several deliverables may be associated with the same milestone.
