Program Status indicates where a program is in its lifecycle, from planning through completion.

Available Statuses

• New: Program has been created but work has not started
• Approved/In Spec: Program is approved and specifications are set
• Assigned: Program has been assigned to a team member
• In Process: Program is actively running
• Waiting On Client/Customer: Paused pending external input
• In Testing/QA: Program being evaluated or piloted
• Needs Final Approval: Ready for final sign-off
• On Hold: Program temporarily paused
• Completed: Program has finished
• Cancelled/Void: Program was cancelled

Status Best Practices

• Keep statuses current to accurately reflect program state
• Use On Hold for temporary pauses rather than deleting
• Mark programs Completed when they finish (do not delete them, you will lose history)
• Use status filters on the Program List to focus on active programs
