Can I use my own project statuses?

Yes. You name the statuses and pick their colours, and each one sits in a fixed stage: proposed, planned, in progress, completed or cancelled. That way your reports stay comparable however you name things.

Who can see a private project?

Only the people you add to it, plus workspace admins. A manager outside the project won't find it in the sidebar, in search or through the API.

Do templates keep task dependencies?

Yes. When you start a project from a template, you get its phases, tasks, owners, dates and the links between tasks.

Can clients follow along?

Yes. Invite them as guests at no cost. Guests see only the projects and tasks you add them to, and they can reply in comments.

How do I keep pitched work out of my numbers?

Mark the project as proposed. You can then filter time and finance reports to confirmed work, so you only count what you have won.
