Milestones break an initiative down into concrete steps. The teams involved in the initiative then plan Key Activities toward each milestone.
Create a milestone
Go to Company and then All Initiatives.
Select the initiative and open the Milestones tab.
Click + Create milestone.
Fill in the information (see below).
Click Create milestone.
Fill in the information
Title: give the milestone a clear name.
Owner: choose who is responsible for the milestone.
Deadline: set when the milestone should be reached.
Definition of done: describe what needs to be true for the milestone to count as completed.
Let Howwe help you plan milestones
Not sure which milestones you need? Plan milestones uses Howwe's intelligence to help you plan them. It already knows everything about the initiative, including its purpose and all milestones that are planned or completed, and builds on them. It takes about 3–5 minutes.
Go to the initiative and open the Milestones tab.
Click Plan milestones.
Choose how you want to get started:
Share my rough plan: describe what you want to achieve with the initiative.
Answer your questions: answer a few short questions.
Generate now, refine later: get a suggested plan right away and adjust it afterwards.
If you have documents about the initiative, such as a strategy or a project plan, attach them with the paperclip icon.
Review the suggested milestones and refine them in the chat.

Tip: The more context you give, the better the milestone plan. If you want a plan that doesn't build on the existing milestones, type "start from scratch".
What happens next?
All teams involved in the initiative can now see the milestone when they plan their Key Activities. You can see which teams are involved in the Teams tab of the initiative.
