Miranda, I sounds like you may have done step 3 out of order. While the new statuses are Locked system-wide you need to configure your boards (Team and Project). You also need to make sure you have the team setup as a Top-Level group before you hide the statuses in Step 4. Unfortunately, hiding them system-wide does just that which includes the group and also blanks the board you just setup, so they need to stay visible from the System standpoint but can be hidden everywhere else. Lastly, a recent change in the System Admin area changes the Status level (top right corner) from being a drop-down to now a text look-up field. Therefore, you'll likely want to have a list of all of the groups available so that you don't miss any when hiding the new Kanban statuses. If you have any other questions about the configuration just let me know and I can walk you through it. Thanks, John Albaugh, PMP John Albaugh
