Project Statuses

Project statuses help track the current state of projects. Common statuses include:

Status	Description
Active	Project is currently in progress
On Hold	Project temporarily paused
Completed	Project finished
Archived	Project no longer active but preserved for reference

Customization

Project statuses can be customized at the organization level to match your workflow needs. Contact your administrator to configure custom statuses.

Project Categories

Projects are organized using predefined categories like:

• Support: For customer support and maintenance projects
• Product: For product development projects

Categories can be customized at the organization level to meet your needs. Common use cases include:

• Organizing related projects into logical groups
• Filtering and searching project listings efficiently
• Generating reports based on project categories
• Managing shared resource pools across projects

Some examples of custom categories:

Category	Description
Shared Resources	Projects focused on resource management
DevOps	Infrastructure, deployment and CI/CD projects
Research	Innovation and R&D initiatives
Client Projects	External client deliverables
Internal	Internal tooling and process improvements

Note

While Support and Product are default categories, administrators can add more categories at the organization level to better organize projects.
