Adding project phases

You can add phases to any project, regardless of the project status.

To add a project phase

1. In the management portal, go to Task management > Projects.
2. In the far right column of the project you want to add phases to, click the ellipsis icon (...), and then select Open.
3. Click the Project plan tab.

4. If you are adding the first phase to the project, click Create phase.

   If you are adding additional phases to the project, click Add phase.

5. Enter a name for the phase, and click Create.

   The phase is added to the relevant project, and you can now add steps to the phase. For more information, see Adding project steps.

   The phase status is calculated according to the status of the project steps. Each step status is weighted, and the phase status is calculated based on the following order: On hold > Delayed > In progress > Pending start > New > Completed.
   
   For example, if a phase has three steps in the Pending start, Delayed, and On hold status, the phase status is shown as On hold.
