# 6.1 Phases

The "Phases" feature allows users to divide their projects into stages or phases, each comprising a set of related activities or tasks. This feature helps break down a project into smaller, more manageable parts, making it easier to organize and track its progress.

To create a phase in Onethread, users can add a new phase, give it a name, and define the start and end dates. Users can also assign tasks and milestones to each phase and track their completion status. This allows users to set clear goals and deadlines for each phase, making it easier to manage the project timeline.

Users can also assign team members to each phase, enabling them to collaborate and work together towards completing the phase's tasks. Users can monitor the progress of each task and, if necessary, make adjustments to the project plan. This ensures that the project is on track and completed on time.

Phases in Onethread also help identify potential roadblocks or delays in the project. Users can track the progress of each phase and identify if any issues need to be addressed. This helps improve project visibility and ensure the project is delivered on time and within budget.

### Pre-Condition to use this feature:

* Users must have an account in Onethread.
* Users must be logged in to the account.
* Users must be a part of a company.
* Users must be added to a project.
