Timeline Tab
Where to find it: Project Detail Page > Timeline tab
The Timeline tab shows a Gantt-style view of the project’s phases and milestones.
What You’ll See
- Phase bars — Each task list (deliverable phase) appears as a horizontal bar from its start date to its end date
- Milestone markers — Diamond-shaped markers at milestone dates. Hover to see the milestone label and date
- Overlap warnings — Yellow “Overlap” badges appear when a milestone date exceeds the next phase’s start date
Setting Milestones (Managers)
Click the flag icon on a task list header in the Deliverables tab to open the inline milestone editor. You can set:
- Phase Start Date — When this phase begins
- Milestone Date — The key deadline for this phase
- Milestone Label — A name for the milestone (e.g., “Discovery Presentation”, “Design Review”)
Common Milestone Sequences
Branding projects: Deposit > Kickoff Meeting > Workshop > Discovery Presentation > Visual Identity Presentation
Website projects: Deposit > Kickoff > Home Page Design > Full Design Presentation > Completed Development
Push Downstream
When you adjust a milestone and it creates a conflict with the next phase, you’ll see a Push button. Clicking it shifts all downstream phases’ start dates and milestone dates by the overlap amount, keeping the schedule aligned.
