The workflow settings show the automatically detected workflow on your Pivotal Tracker board. To adjust the mapping, drag & drop the states between the three boxes: 

  • Not started = Work to be done

  • In progress = Work started but not completed

  • Done = Completed work

Consider your work done only when tasks are fully done, so map your testing/review/waiting states to In progress rather than Done. That provides you with a better picture of your cycle times, including all the reviews that need to be done before a task is complete.
