The Current status should reflect the existing state of the project and next steps - consistent with Critical Path.
The Current Status should be the first place any new developer can look to get oriented within a project.
The Project Status of a project is an important aspect of project management. The status shows 3 things:
- Status of the development iteration - description of what phase a given project is in - such as design phase, build phase, current blocks and issues, etc.
- The greater context of Main Trunk, Branches, Forks, and Merges of the project
- Where the project fits within a Product Ecology, and what further developments the completion of this project would enable. For example, Continuous Charcoal Production allows for fueling the gasifier and running all machines on charcoal.
The intent is to inform contributors or potential contributors of where the project is for planning purposes, and to encourage new contributors to join.
Process Manager stewards the Project Status - makes sure the Status is updated.
