Guessing is not a strategy: How to build decision velocity with AI and real-time data
June 10, 2026 | Live Webinar
Situation: You could use a pat on the back.
Badges are one of my favorite recent additions to gantthead. At a glance, they help you understand how your peers are contributing to the site. If you look at your profile as your "PM Body of Work", badges offer a fun set of highlights - adding a sort of punctuation to the link-lists of things you've done.
They live on the your profile and and follow you around the site. Every time you make a comment or participate in a discussion, badges tell people a little bit about you.
Since launching badges last week, we've received a lot of questions about how you earn them. So here's a quick list of the launch set of badges and a description of how you can get them. We'll be adding more over time, but these are a great place to start.
