Statuses

Every initiative, bug, and todo has a status that shows where it is in its lifecycle.

Statuses

Status	Meaning
Idea	Early concept or intake item that still needs shaping.
Open	Work exists, but has not been selected for active planning.
Planned	Approved or selected for upcoming work.
In Progress	Someone is actively working on it.
Review	Waiting for review, triage, or human confirmation.
Blocked	Waiting on a dependency, decision, missing input, or external issue.
Completed	Finished and included in history, recaps, and analytics.
Merged	Code work has been merged.
Cancelled	Closed without continuing in its current form.
Duplicate	Closed because another work item already represents it.

Initiatives with children

Completed and Cancelled are final. When you change the status of a parent initiative, child initiatives that are already completed or cancelled keep their status.

Priorities

Each item can also have a priority. Issues synced from Jira or Linear keep the priority set there.

Issue priorities

Priority	Meaning
Critical	Highest severity work that needs immediate attention.
Urgent	Time-sensitive work that should interrupt normal ordering.
High	Important work that should be handled before the default queue.
Medium	Normal priority work.
Low	Useful work that can wait behind higher-impact items.
Lowest	Low-impact work to keep visible without crowding current planning.

Statuses drive what appears in triage, on boards, and in recaps.
