Yes. That's a common setup in many project management tools.
The general approach is to create a client-facing view that exposes only high-level information while hiding internal work. Typically, clients can see:
- Project milestones and their status (e.g., Not Started, In Progress, Complete)
- Due dates and key deliverables
- Overall project progress
- Comments or updates that you choose to share
- Files intended for client review
Meanwhile, you keep private:
- Internal tasks and subtasks
- Team discussions
- Internal notes
- Time tracking
- Resource assignments
- Budget or cost information
- Draft work and planning details
Many project management platforms support this in different ways, including:
- Client or guest accounts with restricted permissions
- Public or password-protected project dashboards
- Shareable milestone or roadmap views
- Custom permission roles that limit what external users can access
If you're using a specific platform (such as Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, Jira, Trello, or Microsoft Project), I can explain the exact settings needed to give clients milestone visibility while keeping internal tasks private.
