Database Reference
In-Depth Information
Milestones, of course, are used to define and track other events in the software-de-
velopment lifecycle. Important meetings, tool software upgrades, and requirement de-
liveries are just a few examples.
The Milestones interface contains a number of tabs. The Dashboard and Calendar
tabs are common to all entities and were discussed earlier.
Milestones Tab
The Milestones tab in
Figure 15-12
displays an interactive report that contains a list of
milestones. The high-level filters let you select all or only future events as well as indi-
vidual releases. The Edit link in the interactive report takes you to the milestone's Edit
page, which contains intuitive items that are documented under their labels.

Milestones By Owner Tab
The Milestones By Owner tab (see
Figure 15-13
)
is a dashboard that summarizes the
relationships between a single milestone and the other Team Development entities,
broken down by owner. Knowing the number and status of the related features, to-dos,
and bugs is a good management tool that is useful for controlling a sprint or time-box
that leads up to a release.
