Milestones are a key way to organize your projects.

When you are organizing a project, Milestones are the highest level of organization. Tasks are placed underneath a Milestone. One Milestone may have several Tasks attached.

## Creating Milestones

Inside each project, you can add as many milestones as you need. If you have [the Frontend Edit extension](https://upstreamplugin.com/extensions/frontend-edit/) installed, click the blue “Add Milestone” button. If you don’t have this extension, you can add Milestones from the WordPress admin area.

After clicking “Add Milestone”, you’ll see a modal window when you can enter Milestone information:

All your Milestones will appear in the WordPress admin area:

## Disabling Milestones

If you don’t want Milestones on a single project, you can disable them for a single project by checking this box in the Milestones Settings area:

You can also disable Milestones for all your projects by going to UpStream > General Settings and checking this box:

## Visualizing Milestones

Milestones don’t just appear on a list. You can also see this in the [Project Timeline](https://upstreamplugin.com/extensions/project-timeline/) and [Calendar View](https://upstreamplugin.com/extensions/calendar-view/) extensions.

This image is of the Project Timeline extension. You can see that “Development”, “Website Launch”, “Website Testing” and “Wireframe Design” are the Milestones. Each Milestone has a start and end date, plus several associated Tasks.
