User Editable Status Categories

Status Categories are currently very specific to the creation of code/features, but not at all focussed on the strategic planning, evaluation, proposal, business case and executive approval phases of new features/ideas.

I would like to be able to define my own status categories because the tasks that each team in a workflow perform are actually quite different and there’s not a lot of point having status tracking unless you can track status of each type of work being performed in the entire workflow.

As an example our workflow looks like this:

• Product Management – Idea
• Product Management – Evaluating
• Product Management – Needs Analysis
• Product Management – Business Case
• Product Management – Executive Proposal
• Executive – Review/Approval
• Development Team – Todo
• Development Team – Ready for Dev
• Development Team – In Progress
• Development Team – Ready to Test
• Development Team – Testing
• Marketing Team – Develop Customer Comms
• Marketing Team – Notify Customers
• Operations Team – Push to Production
