Timeline and markers (Objectives)

The timeline adjusts dynamically to match the timebox dates. It lets you add markers by clicking directly on the timeline.

For example, markers can represent milestones. 'Milestones are used to track progress toward a specific goal or event. There are three types of SAFe milestones: Program Increment (PI), fixed-date, and learning milestones.' © Scaled Agile, Inc.

If multiple markers fall on the same date, you will see a number indicating them:
