Adding Milestones to a Project

Milestones mark the major checkpoints in a project, useful for tracking progress at a glance without digging into every individual task.

To add a milestone:

1. Open the project you want to add a milestone to, and then click Edit project.
2. Go to the Milestones section.
3. Click Add Milestone.
4. Give it a title (the checkpoint’s name, e.g., “Design Approved”) and a due date (when it should be hit).
5. Save the milestone; it starts in “planned” status.

Good to know:

• Only Admins and Managers can mark a milestone as achieved; this flips the milestone to “completed” and records when.
• Your project’s overall start and end dates can stay in sync with its milestones; the earliest milestone due date becomes the project start, and the latest becomes the project end when you use this.
