# Managing projects with Milestones, Issues, and Design Reviews

## Background

Milestones help you with project management.

Any issue or design review can be linked to a milestone, allowing you to organize features and fixes based on specific goals.

For instance, you might create a milestone for your next PCB release. You can add all the issues and design reviews needed to be completed before releasing the new revision.
