Task statuses

Is it finished or waiting for a review?

“It’s done” can mean different things to the writer and the reviewer. Define the stages your project uses and update the task as it moves so everyone knows what still has to happen.

Task statuses

In day-to-day work

The stages your team uses

Use project statuses that match the handoff. For example, “In review” tells the team a draft is ready for someone to read.

See where work is waiting

Each Kanban column groups work at the same stage. If several tasks are waiting for review, you can see them together.

Retrace a change

If a task looks different from the last time you saw it, open its history and read through the changes recorded there.

Before you start

A few good questions.

Does a parent task’s status replace a subtask’s status?

A subtask has its own status. Check both levels when deciding whether a larger deliverable is complete.

Can a project have its own stages?

Yes. Configure the project statuses and use them to organize the board around your team’s handoffs.
