Thanks Mukunda,
This is great news. I think being able to explicitly mark task as "in
progress" will help provide some clarity around the task's lifecycle.
It'll also enable us to build out some of the data analysis and reporting
that we are actively working on.
Cheers,
JR

It is now possible to explicitly mark a task as "In progress" to indicate
that you are working on it. This is in response to some Wikimedia teams
using a workflow that involves assigning tasks before work begins. Once
work begins in earnest, you can now make that status change explicit by
marking the task with the "In progress" status. Functionally it's
identical to "open," however, this will allow for some improvements to
progress tracking and reporting.
Feedback about this change can be submitted to Phabricator on the task[1]
