oppgavestatus

Oppgavestatus is a term used in Norwegian to describe the current state of a task or assignment within a project, workflow, or educational setting. It indicates whether work has not started, is in progress, is delayed, or completed, and is used to communicate progress to stakeholders.

In practice, oppgavestatus is stored as part of a task record in a project management or learning management system. It is typically represented by a controlled vocabulary of statuses and may be shown with colors or icons. The exact definitions can vary by organization, but most systems include a core set of states such as not started, in progress, on hold, completed, and cancelled, with optional states like overdue, blocked, or deferred.

Common Norwegian terms and their English equivalents include: Ikke startet (Not started), Under arbeid (In progress), På vent/På venting (On hold), Ferdig (Completed), Avbrutt/Avbrutt oppgave (Cancelled), Forsinket/Forfalt (Overdue), Blokkert (Blocked).

Usage and governance: oppgavestatus guides planning, resource allocation, and reporting. It supports automation rules, such as moving an overdue task to a flagged status or notifying assignees when a task changes state. Clear, consistent definitions are important to avoid ambiguity across teams or departments.

Relation to other concepts: progress tracking, milestones, and dependencies are often linked to oppgavestatus to provide an overview of project health. In educational contexts, status may reflect submission state, grading, or feedback cycles.
