Milestone

You can manage milestones in both Gantt and Timeline boards using the same steps. This guide focuses on managing milestones in the Gantt Board.

A Milestone represents a key event or achievement in a project, marking the completion of a major task or deliverable. It acts as a visual marker on the Gantt chart, helping to track and display progress. Milestones are often used to indicate deadlines or pivotal points in the project timeline.

In TeamBoard ProScheduler, milestones are typically represented as 🔷 diamonds on the Gantt chart. They have a fixed duration of one day and are placed on the timeline to show the completion of significant tasks or project objectives.
