State transition
A shift from one state to another, like the changing of seasons or the movement of a dancer, representing the progress of an object or system as it traverses through various stages or conditions.
Example
In a project management system, tasks move through different states, such as "To Do," "In Progress," and "Completed." State transitions help track the progress of tasks and provide visibility into the overall status of the project, allowing project managers to make informed decisions and adjustments as needed.
