välietapin

Välietapin is a Finnish term that denotes an intermediate stop, checkpoint, or milestone within a journey, process, or plan. It marks a point between the origin and the end where progress can be evaluated or where the next phase begins.

The term is used across various domains in Finnish to describe interim stages. In transportation, a välietappi may refer to a scheduled stop on a multi-leg trip. In project management and planning, it corresponds to a milestone or checkpoint used to assess performance before continuing.

Välietapin is closely related to other Finnish terms such as välietavoite (intermediate target or milestone) and päätepiste (end point). In practical use, the concept helps structure timelines, allocate resources, and communicate progress to stakeholders.
