Project Management Feature Requests

In the calendar view of tasks, it would be great to have all my assigned tasks that haven't yet had a date allocated off to the side, and then the ability to drag and drop those tasks onto the calendar to schedule them. This is useful for small teams where a member of my team might assign me a task, but it's up to me to schedule that into my calendar.

I would like the ability to have milestones or project stages. Many of my projects have 40 or more tasks and having them in a kanban board just organized by statuses under Not started can be confusing. I would like to see an additional kanban board that allows us to create milestones and then organize our tasks within them. For example I am a website designer so my milestones include Onboarding, Discovery, Site Architecture, UX Design, etc... Milestones could also have the option once all tasks are finished within them to be approved and signed by the client. For some projects after a certian milestone is completed and approved an invoice may get sent out.

It would be very useful if there was a way to set reminders for a deliverable - such as - remind me 2 weeks before, 1 week before, 3 days before, and maybe 1 day before. A push to notifications could be a great way to facilitate this for now and then a weekly digest at some point would be a great addition. The reason why is because I find myself juggling a bunch of things and forget to check on the deliverable due dates and I find myself missing deliverables or I'm setting reminders in my Apple reminders.

I would like to see a roll up report or visible breakdown of the projects and their various stages track work history. Similar to P&L but a breakdown of the projects and/or tasks (deliverables). I would like to see a rollup of total number of tasks completed by project by client YTD, or this month, last year, etc. This business intelligence would help me analyze who my best/worst clients are and help to determine if it's worth continuing to work with them in the future. Maybe it's a simple report like the P&L? Maybe add a visual BI dashboard to Projects to show some pie charts or bar graphs. For my business I'd be able to see total number of gigs completed/confirmed/canceled at a glance. I'd be able to determine which client I've done the most work with. P&L only gives the $ side, but that doesn't always match up with your most consistent clients.

I'd like to be able to see unscheduled tasks in the Homebase as well. If I don't have any scheduled tasks I want to spend time on these.

The project settings have hour estimate min/max fields. It would be nice to compare estimated and actual time worked on the project overview and/or timesheets UIs.

Would like to be able to click and drag to rearrange the tasks in table view, just like the KanBan view. I'm coming from Basecamp, so that's the kind of functionality I'm thinking of. It really helps my brain when I can see everything in order. I don't always have a due date or want to set the priority on everything. And I like the table view more than KanBan.

Could we add the email functionality to the + dropdown from within a project? Further to this, would also love project tokens added. For example, when composing an email (from within a project) l could automatically have the project name pulled into the subject line etc.

Does it make sense to have anything in the same view but in the collapsed state? If I don't recall if that project has been invoiced I have to expand each project to see that detail.
