Manage the Status of your various Work Items or Project Artifacts separately from their Stage.
Status is Not the Same as Stage
Too often Project Management systems treat Stages and Statuses as the same thing. This is not true and Proceve allows you to differentiate them and utilize that difference correctly.
Proceve allows for 4 main types of Status:
Progress Related
Activity Related
Dependency Related
Other (i.e. Miscellaneous)
The Status is Independent of Stage
Status is often independent of the Stage a Work Item or Artifact is in.
Examples:
An Item can have a “To Do” Stage and a Dependency Status of Blocked
An Item can have an “In Progress” Stage and a Progress Status of “Behind Schedule”, an Activity Status of “Paused” and a Dependency Status of “Blocked” all at the same time
