Project life cycle

Project phases are defined in system administration.

[feature: customize_life_cycle ]

You can enable or disable existing project phases by navigating to Project settings → Project life cycle.

• Use the toggle switch next to each phase to enable or disable it individually.
• To enable or disable all phases at once, use the Enable all and Disable all options in the top-right corner of the Phases overview.
• Use the search bar to quickly locate specific phases.

Note

A dedicated project permission is required to enable project phases.

When copying a project, the active status of all phases and phase gates is preserved.
