• ASSIGNED: Somebody has assigned and that person is responsible for resolving/response issue
• RESOLVED: Issue has been resolved
• CLOSED: Issue has been finished (tested OK and archived)

Issues have several participants:

[anybody] NEW (start point) -> [manager] ASSIGNED (responsability) -> [developer] RESOLVED (solution) -> [manager] CLOSED (end point)
