Expand Milestones and Enable Milestone Reporting

Currently, Aha allows users to add milestones to features using the Gantt Chart view (example). These milestones can be useful for communicating intermediate value delivered to leaders outside of features, which may extend to 3 months or more in duration. To improve this, we suggest making three improvements related to milestones in the system:

  1. Have milestones clearly related as a record type (similar to To-Dos or Notes) to another record. Currently, it appears that milestones are somehow related to features on the back end, but they do not appear in the list of related records (see attached screenshot)

  2. Enable milestones to be related to more record types, specifically Portfolio Epics, Program Epics, and possibly Team Epics in addition to features. There is value including them there as well.

  3. Enable milestones to appear in reporting. Having searched extensively, milestone data cannot be used in timelines, list reports, pivots, or any other reporting type other than the Gantt charts. This significantly reduces the value of capturing this data and prevents roll-ups for executive level reporting.

    We'd like to see this at the initiative level, so expanding the milestones to beyond releases will be great functionality, especially for reporting.
