Features:
Milestones: These help you plan the project, decide its various stages, and also serve as landmarks that identify how close a project is to completion.
Tasks: Entities that decide the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) of the project. They are a part of Milestones.
Task Relationship: Decide parent/dependent tasks, connect tasks that are similar, by establishing Task Relationship.
Flexibility in Swapping Member Roles: Ability to switch/change "member roles" anytime allows administrators to focus on Milestones/Tasks requiring immediate attention, thus speeding up the project by focusing on grey areas.
