You can manage multiple milestone phases from a single terminal by using a dashboard that reads your planning files and dispatches background tasks to parallel workers. It tracks progress and recommends next actions across all active phases.

The milestone dashboard tracks parallel phase work by reading milestone context directly from your planning files and dispatching work to background Task agents. It provides live status updates and recommends next actions for each phase.

You need to create .planning/STATE.md and .planning/ROADMAP.md files to define your milestone context. The manager reads these specific planning files to determine phase progression and dispatch work accurately.

Yes, you can trigger background tasks automatically across different project phases. The manager dispatches work to background Task agents via its integration, allowing parallel execution while you monitor progress from a single terminal dashboard.

The best way to coordinate parallel workers without switching windows is using a single-terminal dashboard that centralizes phase status. It applies to power users needing to track progress and trigger background tasks across multiple phases simultaneously.

You should not use a single-terminal workflow manager if your project lacks defined planning files like STATE.md and ROADMAP.md. It requires structured milestone context to determine phase progression and dispatch background Task agents effectively.
