in progress

Not yet finished

Something in progress is currently underway, happening now but not yet complete.

A project, meeting, or game in progress is actively occurring: The sign read "Recording in progress".

Please don't interrupt—there's a meeting in progress.

The phrase emphasizes ongoing activity rather than a finished or paused state.
