In addition to custom workflows for versions and packages, Release Management app allows to create intermediate milestones for both that could be

• either linked to accomplishments of certain steps in workflow

• or other important check-ins, not necessarily connected with workflow steps

Once specified for versions and/or packages, milestones will be outlined on Roadmap view (incl. Gadgets) as well as become input parameters for Burnup and Trends Reports (incl. Gadgets).

The following sections outlines the functionalities in all the details.

Manage Milestones

Add milestones

To add milestone cherry pick any version or package on the board / roadmap to open an “Edit“ dialog. Select “Milestones“ tab. Specify your first milestone title, date and Click “Add“.

Shared (Global) milestones

ADVANCED EDITION

You can share your milestones for versions to be available globally - on all the boards where the corresponding version is depicted.

To do so just click on “Shared“ checkbox.

Achieved flag & date

Milestone could be marked as “Achieved“ or not (by default). This could happen either manually clicking on the slider:

or automatically by moving version/release into specific column (status):

Once “Achieved“ flag is set the App will remember the date and amend “Achieved date” property of milestone. You can update also correct “Achieved date” if required.

Color coding

If you miss Milestone or create one in the past it will be colored in Red.

If you schedule a Milestone outside the boundaries of the version/release defined by Start/Release date it will be colored in Yellow.

Ordering milestones

Milestones are ordered the way you create it. To change it, just drag and drop specific row to the place you want to keep it.

Milestones on Roadmap

All the Milestones that fits the boundaries of the version / package will be outlined on the roadmap. The rest of milestones with dates below “Start date” and/or above “Release date” won't be outlined.

All the “Achieved“ milestones are colored in Green. All the missed ones are depicted in Red. The future milestones are Grey’ed-out.

You can adjust milestones on the roadmap with drag-and-drop. The dates will be adjusted accordingly.

You can also turn on milestones names to be visible.

Milestones on Calendar

If selected Milestones will be outlined on Calendar view by planned dates and color coded the same way as Roadmap by achieved status.

By clicking on any of the milestones an appropriate version/package dialog will be open at Milestones tab.

If you export your calendar to .ics or via permanent link milestones will be exported as well as events.
