## Description

# **Acceptance criteria**

*   Project lifecycle phases get a state: Open, In progress or Completed
    
    *   By default, every phase is considered "Open"
        
*   On the project lifecycle section on the project overview the project lifecycle phases show their current status via a coloured icon after the name for those states:
    
    *   Open: blue, octicon: "issue-opened"
        
    *   In progress: green, octicon: "play"
        
    *   Completed: grey, octicon: "check-circle"
        
*   The icons are clickable. On click, a menu opens and a state can be selected (similar to the status button on Meetings)
    
    *   Open: description: "Re-opening a phase will also open all future phases."
        
    *   In progress: description: "Marking a phase as in progress will complete all previous phases."
        
    *   Completed: description: "Marking a phase as complete will complete all previous phases."
        
*   Changing the status has the following effects:
    
    *   Setting a phase to "Open" will
        
        *   open all future phases (in case there is an already started one)
            
    *   Setting a phase to "in progress" will
        
        *   complete all previous phases
            
        *   open all future phases (in case there is an already started one)
            
    *   Setting a phase to "Completed" will
        
        *   **not** automatically open the next phase
            
        *   complete all previous phases
