Issue status groups are used to batch a series of statuses together to assign to an Issue type. Assigning a status group to an issue type restricts the issues so that only the statuses within the group are available for selection. For example, you may have some issues where you want to allow users to select 'On Hold - Awaiting customer response', whereas that may not be appropriate for other types of issue.
