Kavi® Status Tracker Help
Appendix C. Default Project States
Kavi Status Tracker installs a thin set of Project States to
serve as examples. Your organization will add any number of
custom Project States in addition to these defaults, and may
edit or delete the defaults.
This table shows the default Project States in the order in which
they appear when installed. Project States
reflect the general path that a project will take through the
various states during
its lifecycle.
Table C.1. Default Project States
| Project State |
Description |
|
Proposal |
The 'Proposal' Project State covers the preparatory phase of project
development. The project enters this state the date that
the organization receives the proposal, and leaves this
state when the organization approves the proposal and
okays work on the project. |
|
In Draft |
The 'In Draft' state covers the initial phase of project
development. The project enters this state the date that
the organization approves the proposal, and leaves this
state when the draft is ready for trial use. |
|
Draft Standard for Trial Use |
The 'Trial Use' state covers the phase of the
project from the time that the draft standard is
released for trial use until the trial period ends. |
|
At Ballot |
The duration of the 'At Ballot' state can vary
quite a lot, depending on the organization's policies
and bylaws. Generally it covers the phase of the
project from the time that the draft standard is
scheduled for balloting until the ballot is voted and
the draft has either been approved or
rejected. Balloting is usually held in conjunction with
internal comment-collecting and response. The comment period may begin and end
before balloting occurs or may be conducted in parallel
with balloting.
If the draft needs to be approved at multiple
levels within the organization or is submitted to an outside
accreditation organization, custom Project States can
be added and the project can pass through an
escalating series of 'At Ballot' states. For example,
it might go through 'Workgroup Ballot', then
'Organization-wide Ballot'.
|
|
Under Revision |
Depending on policies and bylaws, a draft standard may enter the 'Under
Revision' state if it fails to pass a ballot, if there
are unresolved comments or if it is appealed after
approval. The project may remain in this state
until it is ready to go back to ballot. |
|
Public Review |
The draft standard enters the 'Public Review' state
when it is released for public review and remains in
this state while public comments are collected and
responses filed. |
|
Approved |
When the draft standard has passed all the hurdles
required by the
organization's bylaws, it enters the 'Approved' state
which makes it eligible for release as an approved standard.
If the draft needs to be approved at multiple
levels within the organization or is submitted to an outside
accreditation organization, custom Project States can
be added and the project can pass through an
escalating series of 'Approved' states. For example,
it might go through 'Approved by Workgroup', then
'Approved by Board' before it is published by the
organization. Before it can be published as an
ANSI-certified standard it would have to pass the 'Approved
by ANSI' state.
|
|
Under Appeal |
If a formal challenge to an approved standard is filed, the standard enters the 'Under
Appeal' state. A standard remains in this state until
the organization responds to the appeal. Conversely, a project will go into the 'Under
Appeal' state if it is rejected and the rejection is
appealed.
This state may also apply
to a standard that has been
submitted to an accreditation organization and met with
an appeal in this part of the process. In this case the
standard remains in the 'Under Appeal' state until the
accreditation organization responds to the
appeal.
A project that is appealed usually goes to
the 'Under Revision' state. If the revisions are
simple, the project may then move to the 'Approved' state without
further formal review or balloting.
|
|
Published |
An approved standard enters the 'Published' state
when it is published and remains in this state indefinitely. |
|
Withdrawn |
At the end of the project lifecycle, a project that
is no longer relevant or has been superseded by a newer
standard is set to the 'Withdrawn' Project State. It can also apply to a standard
that has met with objections that
cannot be reconciled, such as when a proposed standards project is
found to overlap a standards project that is currently
underway elsewhere. |
