Add Work Package Stages

[leoRysing]

Overview

We want to be able to tag work packages with stage information, in a more deliberate way than just going off the name.

Stakeholders

Product Stakeholder: @leoRysing Software Stakeholder: @joshiarnav Reference Users: Anushka Wani, Alex DeRing

User Story

As a Project Management Coordinator or Project Lead, I want to be able to specify what stage of the project a work package belongs to outside just the name. This will allow stage information to be represented in other parts of the app, such as coloring the Gantt chart by stage.

Rollout Plan

• Complete the data model changes
• Add the new page
• Push to production, but hide from members
  • Backfill old work packages with stage information
• Release to all club members

Success Metrics

N/A

Out of Scope

• Gantt chart implementation of work package stages. This requires the transition to the new Gantt chart package.

Background / Context

Currently, our projects do not store their stages, and work packages do not either. Sometimes, work packages are named with their state in mind, but that is up to the user. We want to add a consistent way to track stages in both places, for project filtration and gantt chart visualization purposes.

Stages are currently only "referenced" in stage gate requests, but there is no good reference to the stage here. We want to bring stages as a more impactful part of the project and work package flow
