Add milestones to a project

Mark checkpoints on the way to a project's end, attach tasks to each one and watch the bar fill as those tasks are completed.

A milestone is a checkpoint on the way to a project's end, such as "Beta ready" or "Go live". It has a name, an optional target date and the tasks that belong to it. Its progress is the share of those tasks that are done.

Milestones belong to Agile projects (Kanban, Scrum or Scrumban). A Standard project does not show them. To use milestones in a Standard project, change its type in Edit project: every task is kept.

#Create a milestone

#Put a task in a milestone

You can also work from a task. Open the task, go to Sub-tasks and dependencies and choose a Milestone. The field shows once the project has at least one milestone. A card on the board then shows a flag with the milestone's name.

A task has one milestone at most. A milestone only makes sense inside its project, so moving a task to another project clears it.

#Read the progress

Each row of the Milestones panel shows the name, the target date (due followed by the date), the tasks done out of the total, a bar and a percentage. When every task of the milestone is done, the row shows a check and Complete. A milestone with no tasks reads No issues yet.

Press a row to edit the milestone.

#Change or delete a milestone

Open the milestone and edit its name, date, description or tasks, then press Save changes. Delete milestone asks you to confirm and removes only the milestone: its tasks stay in the project.

#Good to know

• The target date is a label. It does not create a task or an event in the calendar.
• Viewers of a shared project see milestones but cannot change them. Editors can.
• Project templates for Agile projects come with milestones already set.
• Prior AI and connected assistants can add milestones to a project too. See AI across Prior.
