A task status helps you to assign a state to the task. Each status has different icons and colours that help you mark the progress of the task. Rocketlane allows you to use default tasks statuses which include:

• To Do
• In Progress
• Completed
• Blocked

You can also add custom task statues to your Rocketlane account based on the task stages and terms preferred by your team.
