Use the task status tracking method to monitor the status of tasks ("Started", "Not Started", or "Completed"), to change the start and finish dates, and to enter the percent complete values. You can set the task status on the General tab of the Task Properties dialog box.
Tracking a project's task status is the easiest way for you to track a project, requiring only that you establish a periodic review cycle to update your project plan. For small to medium sized projects, it may be enough for you to record only task status information. When you start a task, the status of "Started" is recorded in the Status drop-down list on the General tab of the Task Properties dialog box, or in any view which includes status data. When a task is completed, you must change its status to "Completed".
Additionally, when you Autoschedule a project, tasks that have a status of "Started" or "Completed" are unaffected by changes you make to the autoschedule start date.
