Adding and editing schedule milestones

The LivePlan Schedule section helps you turn your plans into focused action by allowing you to break out concrete milestones, with due dates, along the road to opening your company. To see the Schedule section in action, see our Getting Started Videos page.

This feature is available to LivePlan Premium users. To learn more about LivePlan Premium, please click here. 

Adding a milestone

You can add new milestones from three places within LivePlan — in the Pitch, on the Schedule section, or in the Execution section of the Plan section. From any of these locations, the process for adding milestones is essentially the same. Any milestones you add will show up in the Milestones Table in your downloaded plan document:

They will also be displayed in the Schedule section:

The next five upcoming Milestones will be displayed on your pitch as well:
