# Break Down Goals Into Milestones

Milestones are specific stages or verifiable intermediate goals that facilitate project planning and monitoring of project progress. Milestones are often used in project management. It is a good idea to set milestones that you review every three months. Later on, it is sufficient to set milestones once or twice a year – and to communicate them internally and, if necessary, even externally.

For example, if you have completed a complex relaunch, it makes sense to inform the public and potential users about this relaunch and new features.

Milestones can be simple metrics such as page views or subscribers, but also more complex goals such as topics you want to cover. The important thing is that the milestones remain clearly verifiable and realistic.

## Possible milestones

* **Website traffic**: At least XY monthly visits to your website
* **Newsletter subscriptions**: At least XY people receiving your newsletter
* **Donation goal**: At least XY dollars in total donations / At least XY people with monthly recurring donations
* **Community topics**: At least one post per month based on a topic suggested by your community

If you want to add new features to the website, it would be a good idea to prioritise these features and then implement them step by step with the help of a programmer. Here, too, you can define key milestones in advance, which you can review and adjust as necessary.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.beabee.io/community-journalismus/english/basics-media-entrepreneurship/creation-of-a-medium-and-long-term-strategy/break-down-goals-into-milestones.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
