Manage task milestones

Repsona lets you track progress toward goals by creating milestones and grouping tasks. Learn how to create and manage milestones.

What is a milestone?

Milestones are checkpoints on your schedule. By grouping tasks that are scheduled to be completed by a specific milestone and setting a due date, it will be easier to check the progress of tasks up to the milestone.

With Repsona, you can manage the following by creating milestones.

Check the burndown chart

When you group tasks by milestone and set due dates, a burndown chart is generated automatically. You can see it in the "Chart" tab of "Team" in the project menu. It shows the number of unfinished tasks over time, so you can see at a glance how many tasks need to be completed—and at what pace—by the milestone due date.

Gray is the ideal line, yellow is the planned line, and blue is the actual line. The planned line is calculated from the due dates set for each task. The actual line shows the count of tasks that have reached Done as of each date.

Check milestones on the Gantt chart

When you create a milestone with a due date, you will see a vertical green line on the Gantt chart. You can visually see the milestone due date on the Gantt chart.

If you click the "Milestone" button among the buttons that switch between "No grouping", "Responsible", "Ball", and "Milestone", the Gantt chart will be displayed in a grouped form for each milestone, and you can check the plan for each milestone.

Manage milestones

Click "Boards" in the project menu, then choose the "Milestone" tab at the top left.

Create milestones

Use "Add milestone" at the right end of the lanes to create a milestone. Enter the milestone name and due date and click "Create".

Group tasks by milestone (set milestones for tasks)

Drag-and-drop a task card into a milestone lane to move the task into that milestone. The task is now set to a milestone.

You can also set it from the milestone button at the top right of the task details.

Change milestone due date

Click the milestone name, or choose "Edit milestone" from the button on its right, to change its name and due date. Click the cross button on the due date to clear it.

Close milestones

You can close a milestone with "Close milestone" from its button.

Close completed milestones. They are no longer displayed on the board.

Reopen milestones

To resume a closed milestone, turn on the "Show closed" switch at the top right of the screen and choose "Reopen milestone" from the button of the displayed milestone.

Check the progress of milestones

The progress line at the top of the milestone lane shows the progress of the tasks in the milestone. It shows the progress rate (the rate at which the status is approaching completion) of the task within the milestone.

Carry tasks within a milestone to the next milestone

Choose "Carry forward" from the milestone’s button to carry over unfinished tasks to the next milestone.

Delete milestones

Choose "Delete milestone" from the milestone’s button to delete it. Its tasks become "No milestone". This operation is irreversible.
