Milestones are a key way to organize your projects.
When you are organizing a project, Milestones are the highest level of organization. Tasks are placed underneath a Milestone. One Milestone may have several Tasks attached.
Creating Milestones
Inside each project, you can add as many milestones as you need. If you have the Frontend Edit extension installed, click the blue “Add Milestone” button. If you don’t have this extension, you can add Milestones from the WordPress admin area.
After clicking “Add Milestone”, you’ll see a modal window when you can enter Milestone information:
