Creating Project Milestones at the outset of a project gives context to your project's tasks and provides clarity to your current progress.

You can also use the Swimlane View which intersects milestones with task lists to get a birds-eye view and control over your milestones and tasks.

First, let's create milestones for your project.

Next, milestone duration can be adjusted by lengthening or shortening the edge of a milestone; a milestone's start and end date can be adjusted by dragging the entire milestone.

Note: You can change the viewing frame based on Daily / Weekly / or Monthly View.

Milestones with tasks tied to them will automate the milestone progress based on task completion.

Green:  All tasks tied to the milestone are completed and you're ahead of schedule.
Orange:  Visual progress tracker with some of the tasks tied to the milestone marked completed.
Red:  A reference for being overdue. The milestone end date has concluded with tasks tied to the milestone still not completed.
Gray:  There are no tasks associated to this milestone or no tasks have yet been completed.
