Different Milestone types

Milestones are currently set as deliverables for students to upload. Would be great to have an option to make a milestone a checkpoint with no deliverable needed. This will allow educators and teams to plan out projects more.

Yassin Sagnia can you share a little more about what you're thinking here? Would this be something a team member would mark as complete (just with no deliverable), or something where they take no action and it is just a reminder in the project timeline?

Yassin Sagnia

Emily Masching I think both would be a great option. It's a reminder in the project timeline, but there's no deliverable tied to it and students can mark it complete to move it to the 'completed' section of the milestone

Yassin Sagnia: It sounds like a good idea and something we can tweak milestones slightly to do, but would require a fair bit of work as we'd have to modify a lot about milestone submissions and notifications, as well as the milestone creation component.

Can you add context on where this request came from? Has this been requested by educators?

Yassin Sagnia

Emily Masching Yes, I've had a couple educators ask. Last semester I had to delete a milestone for the students to progress because the educator created a milestone as a checkpoint/reminder
