This update is due to some really helpful feedback we received from one of our customers, over the last few weeks. A big thanks to Matt for all his patience and help with this.
Moving multiple milestones has always been possible within TeamworkPM but the issue Matt was having was is that he wanted to move a large number of Milestones in one go and have them all stay off weekends, yet hold pretty much the same space between them all. We had the option to keep milestones off weekends but if you selected this option, it would count the weeks as five day weeks and not as seven. This meant if you moved the first milestone forward by two weeks, or 14 days, it would move all the others forward by 14 working day. This means that any affected milestone could move forward by more than 18 days, as there are two weekend in two weeks. At this stage my head is starting to hurt, so imagine the headache Matt was getting trying to move forward more than 20 separate milestones. It was throwing his whole schedule completely out of whack.This is about the time Matt starting emailing wondering what he was doing wrong . All he was looking to happen for was that no milestone landed on a weekend day. This means that if a milestone was going to fall on a Saturday or a Sunday it would just be pushed forward to the next Monday.
We all discussed Matt’s problem here and we all agreed that a change was needed. This month we are happy to annouce the rolled out milestone update. We are really happy with update and we feel this will make the section easier for all users as well as making sure there is an option here to suit each user.
I have also put together a short video to demonstrate how this new update looks and works.
