Milestone Decision Authority

Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) is the designated individual or group responsible for approving key points in a project’s development, especially in complex fields like defense or large-scale programs. They review project progress, evaluate risks, and decide whether the project is ready to move to the next phase. Essentially, MDA ensures that a project meets necessary standards and objectives before proceeding, helping manage risks and resources effectively. Their approval signifies confidence that the project is on track, within budget, and aligned with strategic goals.
