I overhauled the status workflow here at Baked Studios. I thought I’d share for those curious about how some studios manage statuses. We’ve linked Version statuses to Task statuses to Shot Statuses. The thinking behind this is as follows: Shot Statuses are an overview status — used for clients and producers. Task statuses are used by Coordinators and Artists to communicate well, task status, and then version statuses are used mainly for the review process by Artists and Supervisors. Since people bid shots, track tasks, and review versions — this all seems to make sense to me.

Often, you'll find that the status of a task is contingent on the status of a version linked to that task. And the status of a shot, contingent on the statuse of a task linked to that shot. So we linked everything up using SG's webhooks interface and a service hosted on firebase. Here's the general mapping we use with some categories to help make sense of things:
