Milestones

Milestones group related todos under a target date and give your team a shared sense of what "done" looks like for a phase of work. A milestone's progress bar updates automatically as todos inside it are completed.

Creating a milestone

  1. 1

    Go to the Milestones tab

    Open your project and click the Milestones tab in the navigation bar.

  2. 2

    Click Add Milestone

    Enter a name, optional description, and a target date.

  3. 3

    Assign todos

    From the todo detail dialog, use the Milestone field to link a todo to this milestone. You can also add todos directly from the milestone detail view.

ℹ️ Note

A todo can belong to only one milestone. The milestone field in the todo form shows a dropdown of all active milestones in the project.

Milestone progress

Each milestone card shows a progress bar computed from the ratio of done todos to total todos assigned to it. When all assigned todos reach done status, the milestone is automatically marked complete.

Duplicating a milestone

Click the … menu on any milestone card and select Duplicate. A dialog lets you:

New start date

The date the duplicated milestone begins. Todo due dates shift relative to this date.

New target date

The target date for the duplicated milestone. Editable directly — set it independently of the start date if needed.

All assigned todos are copied with statuses reset to todo and subtasks reset to unchecked. XP is awarded for each duplicated todo.

Archiving milestones

Completed milestones can be archived to keep the Milestones tab tidy. Use the Show Archived toggle to reveal them when needed. Archiving never deletes data.
