📖What it means

Work that could not proceed. Blocked is terminal but REVIVABLE — unlike the dead states, an initiative can come back from blocked. A close whose objective was not met can never make a later refile 'stale' or 'duplicate': plumbing never buries an unmet objective.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Parked", "distinction": "Blocked is a failure; parked is a decision."}, {"term": "Dead states", "distinction": "Closed, discarded and redirected are DEAD and need an operator or a verdict to revive; blocked is terminal but revivable."}]

📖Also called

- stuck
- halted
