Milestones & Releases
Plan and track delivery milestones and releases for your projects.
Milestones and releases help you plan and track delivery targets for your projects. Use milestones to group tickets into planned deliverables and releases to mark what has been shipped.
Milestones
A milestone represents a target or deadline for a set of work -- for example, "v2.0 Launch" or "Q1 Goals".
Creating a milestone
- Open your board and go to the Milestones tab
- Click Create Milestone
- Give it a name and optionally set a target date
- Save the milestone
Assigning tickets to milestones
When editing a ticket, you can assign it to a milestone. This links the ticket to that delivery target. The milestone view shows all assigned tickets and their current statuses, giving you a clear picture of progress.
Tracking progress
The milestone view shows:
- Total tickets assigned
- How many are completed, in progress, or still in the backlog
- A progress indicator based on completed vs. total tickets
- Whether the milestone is on track based on the target date
Releases
Releases mark what has been shipped. They are snapshots of completed work that you can share with stakeholders.
Creating a release
- Open your board and go to the Releases tab
- Click Create Release
- Give it a version or name (e.g., "v1.3.0")
- Add release notes describing what was delivered
- Publish the release
What releases include
A release can reference the tickets that were completed as part of that delivery. This creates a clear record of what went out and when.
