Change a project's status
Edit a project status and understand how work on the project can affect it.
Project status shows whether work has started, is active, is on hold, or is complete. Milestone stage is a separate part of project progress.
Available statuses
- Not Started
- In Progress
- On Hold
- Completed
Change status
Open Projects
Go to the team's Projects page and use the list view.
Edit the Status cell
Click the project's Status cell and choose a new value.
Confirm the saved value
Reopen the project or refresh the list and check the status badge.
You can also edit project basics from the project's edit page when that action is available to your role.
How status can change
Project work and task activity can update a project's status. A project with no work started can show Not Started, and a project with work in progress can show In Progress. On Hold remains in place while activity changes.
Changing the status does not complete tasks or move project work forward. Use the project tasks and phases to record completed work.
