Progress trackers are determinate indicators to represent where a user is in a journey. They inform the user what they have completed, where they are currently, and what's left to complete.
Determine your type of progress tracker
This tracker can be visible in many ways — a loading bar, a pie chart, numbered steps.
An experience with large sections would utilise numbered steps, or "milestones". One overall journey that has incremental steps would utilise a loading bar or pie chart better, perhaps with an overall percentage.
Create your states
A progress tracker with milestones needs to show 3 states:
What's been completed
What's currently being completed
What hasn't been completed yet
Assemble your tracker
Final touches can include grouping your sections by milestone, and deciding how you want to label each milestone (by number or by title).
