Milestones
A milestone is a saved snapshot of your roadmap at a moment in time. Later, you can compare the roadmap against it and see exactly what moved. Milestones are a Pro feature.
What it does
When you save a milestone, Roadmap Flow stores a complete copy of the active roadmap — its items, workstreams, teams, and dependencies — under a name you choose. The snapshot does not change when the roadmap does.
From a saved milestone you can Compare to now. The comparison groups every difference — new blockers, new decisions, delayed and accelerated items, added and removed items, priority and status changes — and you can export it as a change report in Markdown, PDF, or PowerPoint.
When to use it
- Right before a stakeholder review, so the next review can show what changed against what you committed to.
- At the start of a quarter or a planning cycle.
- Before a major replan.
When not to use it
- For everyday "what changed this week" reporting. The automatic change log in Progress already does that, with no snapshot required.
- As a backup. A milestone snapshots one roadmap inside the workspace; for a real safety copy use a workspace backup.
3-minute flow
- Open the Progress tab and find the Milestones section.
- Click Save milestone and give it a name tied to the moment, like "Q2 review".
- Keep working on the roadmap as normal.
- When you need to, open the milestone and click Compare to now.
- Read the grouped changes, and export a change report if you need one.
Best use cases
- "Here is what changed since we last met" at a recurring review.
- Quarter-over-quarter roadmap comparison.
- A documented record of a commitment before a replan.
Common mistakes
- Saving a milestone with a vague name. Name it after the moment it captures.
- Saving too often. A milestone is a checkpoint, not a daily habit — the change log covers the day-to-day.
