Preparing a project milestone message
A milestone message should explain what the completed step means for the customer.
A practical approach
State the verified event and the next dependency. Distinguish completion of one stage from completion of the entire project. If the homeowner needs to take an action, make it clear and separate from general progress information. Avoid celebratory language that could imply final readiness before the remaining checks are complete.
Put it into practice
- State the verified milestone
- Explain the next dependency
- Separate required customer actions
