Phases are an optional feature in Bridgit Bench that outlines different stages of a construction project. Phases are sequential but can overlap. Bridgit Bench allows sub-phases under a parent phase.
Phases can be added to projects by users with Administrator or Full Contributor permission. Administrators are able to add phases to the account or remove them.
General Rules for Phase Dates
