  </Card>

  <Card title="Closed" icon="check-circle">

## Best practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Keep names concise and descriptive">
    Keep project names concise but descriptive. Update them if the research focus changes significantly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use descriptions for context">
    Use descriptions to add context that isn't obvious from the name, such as research timeline or key stakeholders.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Update status regularly">
    Update status as you progress through your research workflow to keep your project list organized.
  </Accordion>
