When would you put an idea in Discovery status vs Impact?

[Tenzing Doleck]

Is the status field configurable?

[Erin Mihalik]

You can access it two ways:

1. Select 'three dots' on the Status column.
2. Select Edit field
3. Select Edit Workflow
4. Add or delete statuses
5. Select Update workflow

OR

1. Select Project Settings
2. Select Workflow
3. Follow steps 4 and 5 from above

We are moving ideas into "Discovery" status when we do investigations or conceptual work, as well as ideation/design. Basically, anything that needs to be done before the idea can be "Ready for Delivery".

To be honest, I'm not sure we'll continue to do so, because it doesn't give us that much benefit, really. There are certainly other ways to keep track of e.g. design work.

I found it quite interesting to read from Tanguy that the JPD team itsself obviously doesn't use the status field, at all, but "Roadmap" and "Phase", instead: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Product-Discovery-questions/What-to-do-when-an-Idea-is-finished/qaq-p/2171378
