Highlight milestones and schedule hierarchies

▼In a sea of start dates, end dates, rows of activities, and columns of data, how can the major milestones and activity rows stand out?

► Move major milestones to summary lines

► Enlarge the physical size of the milestone

► Use striking colors, like red

► Circle major milestones

► Use shapes which convey a sense of a major event

► Use a column which marks major tasks

► Filter to display only the major activities

► Shade by outline level
