What is the difference between a phase and a status?

Question

Accepted Answer

They are two independent dimensions. The status (To Do, In Progress, Blocked, Completed) shows where a task stands in the workflow. The phase (e.g. Planning, Day-of, Wrap-up) places the task in the event lifecycle — it is a planning window with a start date and an end date. A task can be in the 'Day-of' phase and have a 'Blocked' status at the same time.
