# Process Stages and Progress Bar

Enable visual, stage-based tracking across your workflows by defining **Stages** in your processes. Process Stages help teams monitor case progression in real time, improving clarity, coordination, and lifecycle visibility.

This feature introduces a progress bar that helps participants understand how far a case has progressed, thus improving clarity, coordination, and time management across workflows.

* **Visual Progress Tracking:** Display progress bars and stage names in the case list and task details for real-time visibility.
* **Process Modeler Integration**: Define and manage stages within the Process Modeler.
* **Progress Variables**: Access stage data using built-in process variables.
* **Improved Case Clarity**: Make progress visible to all participants, reducing ambiguity and improving decision-making throughout a case’s journey.
