Answer / kiran
Milestone : is a check point to verify the progress of our
project activities. Internally, we will divide the project
into various chunks and have milestones to testify our
approach towards the project goal.
Readjusting : If you identify team is behind the
expectations and far from the milestone, we have to further
work on the milestone by reducing the scope or increasing
the resources or productive hours.

It is a part of Change management process. Most probably
one will Readjust the goal only if the scope of the work
changes and hence accordingly change the milestone.

Answer / somnath mukherjee
Re-adjustment in goals and milestones also come from
factorizing the critical success ratios in a project. This
is an ongoing process that gets re-visited in a project
life cycle, especially impacting the development and
delivery approach. Goals will hardly have a potential
change, but milestones will be vulnerable to the demand of
the time, cost, speeded success and most importantly, the
utilization of the resource pool - both human and non-
human.
