Team projects lifecycle

The following table describes the life cycle of team requests and projects.

The following steps are somewhat dependent upon the routing model used for the particular team involved in the request.

	User action	System action
1	A user submits a request to a team.	Creates a team request. Populates the My Team Routing field for the request. Sets the status of the request to Submitted.
2a	A team manager or member returns the request.	Changes the status of the request to Returned. Clears the My Team Routing field for the request.
2b	A team manager assigns the request to a team member.	Sets the owner of the team project to the team member selected during the assignment.
2c	A team member accepts or returns the request.	Sets the owner of the team project to the team member selected during the assignment.
3a	If accepted, the owner of the team project sees it through to completion.	Updates the status for the team project as applicable.
3b	If the owner becomes unavailable, a team manager or member can reassign the project.	Sets the owner of the team project to the newly-assigned team member. Updates the My Team Routing field for the project.
