Automated project milestone reminders

Purpose

1.1. Ensure timely completion of project milestones by auto-reminding team members and stakeholders at scheduled intervals.
1.2. Reduce delays and oversight by integrating reminders with project timelines, reducing the risk of missed deadlines.
1.3. Synchronize updates across departments, field crews, and management for seamless antenna service project tracking in rigging & installation.
1.4. Support compliance, documentation, and quality assurance schedules specifically for aerial systems projects.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. A project milestone reaches a pre-defined date or status update in the project management system.
2.2. Assigned task progresses to a specific stage (e.g., “ready for installation” or “QA required”).
2.3. Scheduled interval elapses without a status update (e.g., no check-in for 48 hours).
2.4. Milestone dependencies cleared, signaling next stage activation for team notification.
2.5. Manual override for unscheduled or emergency reminders (e.g., sudden field changes).
