Task Status helps track the lifecycle of work, from planning, to commitment, to completion. It’s a simple way to bring structure and accountability to the plan.
## Updating Task Status to Promised
***
Promised Tasks are commitments. If the committed dates are changed, a delay reason must be recorded in order for the update to save.
#### Change Task Status to Promised:
* On the Gantt, use the Column Picker to toggle `Status`
* Click the Status cell for your task & select `Promised` from the dropdown menu
