How to review SoM as a Milestone Reviewer?

The Milestone Reviewer has to decide if the following parts of the milestones should be approved:

• Outputs - outputs that FP will produce, for example: technical outputs, documentation, prototypes, etc.

• Acceptance criteria - intended outcomes and standards by which to judge whether the objective has been achieved.

• Evidence of milestone completion clearly shows that a milestone has been completed.

The Milestone Reviewer assesses each part of the milestone separately and can add information if it is approved or not. A Milestone is only approved if each part is accepted.

Correct SoM formulation has an essential impact on the whole process. Milestone Reviewers should pay attention and assess carefully what a Funded Project includes in each milestone. If milestones are formulated correctly, then a further stage of reviewing evidence provided in PoA is much easier to follow. Below can be found general information on what should be included in the milestone:

• Milestones should match the original proposal.

• Outputs/acceptance criteria/evidence of milestone completion should be clear and understandable.

• Outputs/acceptance criteria/evidence of milestone completion match together.

• Milestones should signify the progress of the project

• Milestone should be easily reviewed by anyone in the community (e.g., short recording).

• Milestone should contain enough evidence of what will be achieved.
