What Happens

Milestones are the horizontal rows on the map. Each can carry a start date and a target date, and so can individual cards. Those dates drive the Gantt view, where milestones become bars and scheduled cards sit inside them.

Ask to push a milestone out and the agent shifts the milestone and every dated card inside it by the same amount. Add “but leave the cards where they are” to move only the milestone. Absolute dates like “1 to 15 October” and relative ones like “next week” both work. Relative dates are resolved from today and echoed back so you can check them.

Cards without dates are left alone, and “clear the dates on Beta emails” removes them.

Try Saying

• “Set Launch to run 1 to 15 October”
• “Schedule the onboarding cards for next week”
• “Pull MVP forward by three days but leave the cards where they are”
• “Clear the dates on Beta emails”
