Milestone names and release dates in a spreadsheet the team has not opened in a long time are unlikely to help you plan the work. Create milestones right in IMS Creators and distribute tasks and other project elements across them. This way the plan stays connected to the team's everyday work, and the deadlines and progress for each stage always remain in view.

\"We're almost ready\" — a phrase often heard at meetings, but it doesn't always reflect concrete results. In IMS Creators there's a \"Reports and metrics\" page that helps assess the real progress of the project: view statistics on completed tasks, hours spent, and story points for a selected period or sprint. You can also compare team members' results, analyze data by categories and sprints, and if needed, export the report to CSV for further analysis.

In a meeting, a task seems simple and everyone is sure it will take a couple of days, but over time it's hard to remember what the estimate was based on. In IMS Creators, you can specify the expected time for each card in hours or story points, and then track actual time spent. This way you can compare plans with results and estimate future tasks more accurately based on real data, not guesswork.

When the plan is scattered across spreadsheets and chats, it becomes hard to tell how the work is progressing after just a couple of days. Create a sprint with dates and a goal, add tasks from the board, and track deadlines visually on the Board, List, Calendar, or Gantt chart.
