Project status in Zoho Projects indicates where a project stands in its lifecycle. Standard statuses include Active (currently in progress), On Hold (temporarily paused), Completed (all work finished), and Archived (closed and read-only). Project managers update status manually or configure automatic transitions based on task completion.
You can define custom project statuses in Zoho Projects to match your organisation’s workflow. For example, you might add Pre-kickoff, Pending Client Sign-off, or In Review as intermediate states between Active and Completed.
Project status is prominently displayed in the portfolio view, giving programme managers a quick colour-coded overview of all active projects. RAG (Red, Amber, Green) status indicators help executives identify projects that need intervention without reading detailed reports.
