Make workflow status description visible for everyone
The configuration of work flow statuses is a great tool to customize your view in aha. Unfortunately the Status descriptions are only visible in the configuration mode (which is only available for a specific typ of user). This leads to confusion for the other users. Therefore we would suggest implementing a "tool tip" which includes the Status description.
Having a description available to view on the workflow would allow for a person to learn what's expected in each status and what's required to move to the next state. Without that, they have to go somewhere to learn.
I shared a view from Rally where they have exit agreements which allow us to define the criteria and you see it where you're working and not have to find a wiki to learn. That step is likely to not happen.
Surfacing this information would be a very helpful aid in bringing internal and external stakeholders up to speed when trying to adopt Aha. I try to define my statuses so they allow a person to make as many safe assumptions about the related work as possible, but getting that information to stick is a challenge. I can throw it in a wiki somewhere, but then it is not readily available when they're most likely to benefit from the information.
Yes! I would love this information as a tool tip....especially in the Workflow view. I use the description for notes to my team about what they should be doing in that particular stage of the workflow.
