Employers changing milestones mid-project
in progress

Though I understand WHY this is not a thing we allow for scoping purposes when a project is accepted, I am wondering if for Signature Programs we can think of a way to bring it in?
Employers and students will begin working together and jointly decide that the scope of work has changed based on the students abilities and I am wondering if there is a way to introduce scope changing mid-project that includes sign off from both the student and the employer (and maybe even the educator/us) in order to allow for this to happen in a controlled way when the scope changes legitimately

Merged in a post:
seeking ability for employers to add milestones at any project stage
Crystal Wright
As an employer I should be able to add milestones to teams at any time regardless of who sets dates, etc (maybe with an approval mechanism?)
This will help with project planning across teams after kick-off and is an ask from TCF (partner). They would love to know an ETA is possible
Discussed with Emily async.

Nicole Gibson this is something we want to and plan to do, but is a decently big feature. Can I confirm you are talking more about a content change here rather than adding a milestone to the timeline?

Emily Masching this would be adding a milestone to the timeline, as well as changing existing dates within milestones
Emily Masching
Nicole Gibson Oh nice, those things are more doable.
- An employer can request to change the dates for a match at any time. They do this via Match settings > Timeline when dates are set at the project level. This will affect all teams on the match. We could make this more visible on the team page.
- An employer can request to change the dates for a specific team via Team settings > timeline when dates are set at the team level.
- Coming soon, an employer will be able to just add a milestone within the existing team timeline; that will affect only that team.

- more visible would be great! I didnt know that that was there!
- ok - what happens when they are set at their level upon match request? can they still request changes?
- yay!

Re #2, if the dates are set at the match level, the employer cannot change dates for an individual team. This is something we can't change.
Will work on #1 :)

Crystal Wright who's the date controller for the experience in the client who is asking for this?

Emily Masching the date controller is the team

Crystal Wright I don't think I can give an ETA on this one unfortunately. We discussed this morning and it's a little more complex than I was originally thinking as we need to:
- Update permissions to give employer ability to add milestones for team
- Update milestone UI to reflect who the creator is
- Add a notification to the team when employer creates milestone
- Add a notification to the educator when employer creates milestone OR allow them to turn this functionality off - TBD.
Because it's a little bigger than my first thought, I can't just squeeze this in to an upcoming sprint, it will be a bit further away and there's too much uncertainty in the timeline.
