Open: Tasks that haven't been started yet.
- In Progress: Tasks that are currently being worked on by the owner.
- On Hold: Tasks that are temporarily paused.
- Completed: Tasks that have been successfully completed.
The tasks can be moved to the next stage simply by dragging and dropping them to the right stage.
