If tasks are about what needs to be done, milestones are about when something needs to be done by, or a date/time for an event, such as a client meeting, project deadline or the start/end of a phase of the project. As milestones are mainly about getting something done by a given time/date, they can easily be linked to task lists among other resources.
With milestones you can:
- Create, edit and delete milestones
- Track what milestones are upcoming, what ones are overdue and what ones have recently been completed
- Track dependencies between milestones
- Shift blocks of milestones back and forwards
- Set optional times on milestones should you require that level of detail
- Categorise milestones, as well as searching through them
- View milestones in both list and calendar format (grid)
- Comment on milestones, either to further clarify it’s aim, or to state why it was delayed.
As with everything else, milestones can also be linked to most other resources within the system, as well as it being auto linked to dependant milestones.
