Milestone Trend Analysis: How it Works
Milestone Trend Analysis (MTA) is very popular with project managers because it enables them to easily visualize how milestones are progressing over time. MTA is an easy-to-read combination of the history and prognosis of selected project milestones. It is used to graphically illustrate time-related discrepancies.

When milestones are updated, the completion dates are reforecast according to the progression of the project. Connecting the interrelated symbols produces a curve that clearly shows the progression over time (please see screenshot above). The best-case completion of the original plan is represented by a horizontal line. If this line is rising it signifies a delay in the schedule; a falling line means that completion will be ahead of schedule.

The Advantages of MTA

• concise visualization of the history and prognosis of important milestones
• timely detection of deadline bottlenecks with periodic updates
• easy to use and quick to learn
• improvement of deadline awareness among project participants.
