Workflow guide.
Every Stori project has its own configurable workflow — a set of states that work items move through from creation to completion.
How it works
Define statesEach state has a slug, display name, and category
Group by categoryStates belong to To Do, In Progress, or Done
Drive the boardCategories become board columns automatically
A workflow defines the lifecycle of work items within a project. It is a flat, ordered list of states, each assigned to one of three categories:
| Category | Meaning | Board Column | TraQL |
|---|---|---|---|
| To Do | Work not yet started | Left column(s) | is:open |
| In Progress | Work actively being done | Middle column(s) | is:open |
| Done | Work resolved — completed or closed as won’t-do | Right column(s) | is:closed |
Every project must have at least one state in each category. This ensures the board always has a starting point, an active area, and a resolution.
Every new project also ships with a terminal Won’t Dostate for items you’ve decided not to build. It lives in the Done category, so it counts as is:closed and never blocks a release ship or shows up as open work — but it carries its own colour so it stays visually distinct from completed work. Rename, recolour, or remove it like any other state.
