Project Statuses-Oracle Projects Considerations Part 8

What Are Project Statuses?

Statuses can control the “life-cycles” of projects, project resource requirements, and people. New statuses can be created for the above objects.

Out of the Box Project Statuses

Project Statuses include predefined statuses for the following objects:

• Projects – a project’s current state, for example Open, Closed, or Approved
• Requirements – The state of the requirement in the staffing life cycle. For example Open, Filled, Cancelled
• Assignments – Current assignment status. For example Provisional, Confirmed, Cancelled
• Candidates – Indicates a project candidate’s amount of consideration for a proposed project. For example Pending Review, System Nomination, Under Review, Suitable, Declined, Withdrawn,  Assigned
• Assignment approval – candidate’s current staffing life-cycle state. Working, Submitted, Approved, Canceled, Rejected, Requires Resubmission

Oracle Project Status Questions and Considerations

Will you enable project approval workflow?

• Workflows can be used to strengthen the effect of project statuses by routing approvals based on status to different groups.

• Seeded statuses are sufficient for most configurations.
• Additional controls for each status allow them to be dynamic.
