Cycle

The Planning Workflow takes place when Cycle is the begin-of-life cycle for every feature and is performed before the development of a Feature feature starts. The Workflow Planning Cycle starts always with an Open State with a feature being OPEN and ends either with an Accepted or Deferred Status. It is exactly there, when one of these both States is reached, where the Development Worfklow starts:

Development Cycle

The Development Cycle is performed subsequently to the Planning Cycle and includes features that have been ACCEPTED or that have previously been DEFERRED. At the end of this cycle features are RELEASED. Later on the Deprecation Cycle will be started for released features.

Deprecation Cycle

The Deprecation Cycle is the end-of-life cycle of a feature. It is performed some time after the feature was RELEASED. A feature proceeds through the following status before it is REMOVED from future releases:
