A Milestone is a marker or a goal that you want to achieve for a list of tasks. When you create tasks, they are in task lists. A task list can be associated to a milestone.

For example, you could have a milestone called Client First Demo and then have tasks associated with that milestone. As you complete your tasks, you will be able to see the progress of your milestone as well.

Administrators and team members can add milestones and associate them to task lists.
