Milestones are key moments in time that are fixed and have no duration. They show specific points in your planning and schedule that mark important dates, stages and events. They highlight a change, key date or deadline to help all users focus towards a common goal. They can act as a signpost to help guide users to the next major milestone and show the progress of work completed so far.
When adding a milestone you can set the color and a title that is shown when hovering over the icon in the schedule. Update its percentage competed value to show, and inform others, of the milestone progress.
Using MilestonesMilestones can be used to notify a lead or manager that a collection of events and subtasks have been completed without them needing to be informed of the progress of each individual event or subtask.A milestone only report gives a high level overview of the overall progress of a project, or schedule of works, without the need to see every event or task that makes up the entire plan.Create a resource row at the top of your schedule where you can place and view all milestones together for a great plan and progress overview.Filters can be used to filter in or out any milestone events should you want to include or exclude them from your views and reports.Milestone ExamplesShow the start of a project or a set of related eventsShow when a project or a set of related events must be completedDate for a progress reviewThe end of a phase of planningWhen critical documents need to be received/finalised
