Understanding Tasks and Milestones
A Task is a type of work assigned to users, while a Milestone serves as a reminder to check the status of assigned tasks.
Example Scenario: House Renovation Project
Imagine you are managing a house renovation project and have assigned the following tasks to different users:
- House visit and inspection – Assigned to John from May 1st to May 3rd.
- Wall demolition work – Assigned to Andrew from May 3rd to May 5th.
- Electrical fixtures, flooring, etc. – Assigned to Jacob from May 5th to May 15th.
Since all tasks should be completed by May 16th, you should set up a Milestone for May 10th as a reminder to check in with John, Andrew, and Jacob regarding their progress.
If any tasks are still pending, you can instruct the users to complete them on time to ensure the renovated house is delivered to the owner as scheduled.
