In long term projects, you may feel the problems of impatience and over commitment. Sometimes you feel like you aren't making any progress, and you want to quit.

Anish, short-term benchmarks to me are regular acceptance tests with the customer where you deliver tangible results. The feedback gives the team a feeling of real progress and motivation and makes the journey easier for all involved.
