# Milestones

Milestones can be used with Issues to mark important points in the development process, such as the completion of a particular feature or the release of a new version.  For example, a problem may need to be addressed, so a Milestone can be created for addressing that problem.  Then a user can create an Issue for each step or code change required for that.

Milestones can be accessed under the Issues tab, using the Milestones section.

Milestone progress is tracked *(based on the number of Issues or PR's related to the Milestone*).  When creating a milestone, you define the name, description and target due date.  That is all!

In summary, Milestones are a great project management tool to allow you to group and track work being performed in Issues, to track a set of issues to completion.
