Inputting Timelines into the SayPro Website

To input these timelines and milestones into the SayPro website, you can follow these general steps:

1. Log into the SayPro platform: Access the admin dashboard or project management area.
2. Create a New Project: For each transportation proposal, create a new project entry (e.g., “Sustainable Public Transport Expansion”).
3. Add Project Milestones: Under each project, input the milestones as tasks with corresponding deadlines.
4. Set Timeline Dates: Ensure each milestone has a start and end date as per the planned timeline.
5. Assign Responsibilities: If possible, assign teams or individuals responsible for each milestone.
6. Monitor and Track Progress: Use the platform’s tracking features to mark each milestone as completed, adjusting timelines as necessary based on progress.

By creating clear timelines and milestones for each transportation project, SayPro can better manage and track the development and implementation of these initiatives, ensuring timely and efficient progress.
