Recording why a project stage changed
A stage change is more useful when its supporting event is visible.
A practical approach
Attach the relevant approval, completed task or documented decision before moving the record. Distinguish administrative cleanup from actual project progress. If the stage was changed in error, correct it transparently and notify anyone who acted on the update. A date alone does not explain what the project is now ready to do.
Put it into practice
- Link the supporting event
- Distinguish cleanup from progress
- Correct errors transparently
