Milestones

Milestones group related tasks around a project checkpoint such as a launch, review, delivery, or internal deadline.

Each milestone has a name and an optional due date.

When to use milestones

Use milestones when you want to:

  • group tasks that belong to the same delivery point
  • track progress toward a release or review
  • show important project dates in planning views
  • make large projects easier to scan

Creating milestones

Milestones can be created from project workflows in the app. The task popup can also create a milestone directly next to the milestone dropdown, so you do not need to leave the task flow.

In Discord workspaces, milestones can also be created, listed, edited, and deleted with milestone commands.

Assigning tasks to milestones

When a task belongs to a milestone, the task keeps its normal project, assignee, status, deadline, labels, and custom fields. The milestone adds an extra grouping layer for planning and progress.

Progress and reminders

Bnder can use milestone due dates for milestone reminders and project planning. Milestone notifications follow the workspace notification flow; see Notifications.

Milestones with due dates can also appear in the Gantt view alongside scheduled tasks and blocker relationships.
