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

• To Do
• In Progress
• Completed
• Blocked

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