Use Done statuses when you need to keep an eye on a task after your team's work is complete.
For example, all engineering is complete on a sprint task but marketing and technical writing teams still need access to it. If the status is marked as Complete, the task is automatically hidden from most views. Using a Done status instead will keep the task visible!
