Q:

Is there an adjective or phrase for "to be dealt with"?

I want an expression to refer a noun to be processed or to be dealt with. I think clauses a bit too long, while 'to-be-processed' phrase not elegant.
To specify my question in avoidance of ambiguous, I would state the context as explaining a model/method. I am about to write how the intermediate data between two procedures are like. So initially I consider sentence like "The to-be-computed/processed(by second procedure) data have features that blablabla." 

A:

In the context of assigning "status" values to various (sub-)tasks within an organisation, for example,...

pending - about to happen or waiting to happen
There were whispers that a deal was pending.
