Event Lifecycle

From draft to wrap-up, lifecycle states maintain clarity and coordination.

Typical States

1. Draft: Define scope, time, and participants. Defaults to one-hour duration if not specified.
2. Planning: Collect inputs, confirm resources, and finalize agenda.
3. Scheduled: Invitations go out and reminders are enabled.
4. In Progress: Live updates, notes, and timeboxing.
5. Completed: Summaries, follow-ups, and actions are captured.

Best Practices

• Use templates for repeatable formats.
• Set clear entry/exit criteria for each state.
• Automate reminders where appropriate.
