Setting up Team Timelines in VS Code Copilot

Need to document a major phase change? Use `create_milestone` to add a diamond marker right into your project timeline. Your team can use `create_timeline_task`, which requires the name, start date, and end date for new segments. This capability means every developer gets access to live planning data automatically through the shared MCP Server configuration.

Auditing Project Status with VS Code Copilot

Before merging code, check the status. `get_task_details` pulls all information for a specific task ID, confirming its current scope and dates. You can also run `list_workspace_tags` to see what categories are in use across your entire organization. This robust visibility helps prevent merge conflicts based on outdated project assumptions.

Managing Project Scope via MCP Server

The team can maintain consistency by using the shared tooling. `list_workspace_projects` gives a definitive list of all active work streams, while `update_timeline_task` allows you to push structured changes to existing tasks across the board. If a task needs removal, remember that `delete_timeline_task` is irreversible.
