Status Meanings

  • To Do: Task not yet started
  • In Progress: Team member is actively working
  • In Review: Work complete, waiting for review
  • Ready To Test: Approved, ready for QA testing
  • Testing: QA team is testing
  • Blocked: Cannot continue (waiting for something)
  • Done: Complete and approved
  • Archived: Historical/old tasks
