0/100 rule

Explanation:
The milestone method is especially helpful for work packages of long duration that have interim milestones or a functional group of activities with a milestone established at specific control points. In the EV system, value is earned when the milestone is completed.
In such cases, a budget is assigned to the milestone rather than to the work packages.
