Can we work with our internal Global Technology team on an Enhancement opportunity to add a detailed status categories that are more accurate vs. utilizing  Not Started status in Align for items currently in flight. Align at the Initiative Level only has 3 status, (Not Started, In Progress, Accepted). Requirements to enhance  5 more work statuses (e.g. Waiting for Commitment, Ready for Refinement, Under Refinement) these additional statuses are being utilized  to create and track the progress of  our initiatives to provide leadership more accuracy on the current status of each item. Note: From a Jira Align status perspective, the activities are reflected as Not Started, when in actuality the team is working on several activities, leading up to the ‘in Progress’ status which means the Scrum Teams are doing the work. The Out of the Box Jira Align is not meeting our needs, and we need to make these enhancements to the existing product. Thank you.

@Mabary, Jennifer i would encourage you to look in utilizing Process Flows in Jira Align. A process flow  consists of customizable steps that are used to provide a continuous flow of value through the agile process. Process flows represent your own process steps based on your organization’s terminology.
