Milestones are activities—typically process checklist items—that must be completed in order for the release to remain on track. A milestone can represent anything that requires tracking, such as a kick-off meeting, operating system upgrade, or hardware and network upgrades. Milestones are tracked by date and status.
Milestones are attached to the release itself and not a particular phase or environment. Milestones are created on the Release
page (Home > Releases > selected_release
).
Tip
Although it might be tempting to concentrate on functionality identified during planning, remain alert to potential changes that re-scope or otherwise effect the release train's schedule.
