When creating a stage in **[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com)**'s project **Gantt**, you can add a checklist with several sub-items for that stage, checking off each one as done and automatically tracking progress through a percentage bar.

## Why does a checklist inside the stage help with tracking?

A single project stage often hides several smaller tasks within it — like "legal approval," "deployment," or "training." Without a checklist, it's hard to tell whether the stage is close to done or still has a long way to go, since the Gantt chart alone only shows the expected start and end.

## How to configure a stage's checklist in Jestor?

1. In the project's Gantt, click to create a new stage.
2. Set the title, the linked project, and the expected start and end dates.
3. In the checklist section, add the sub-items that make up that stage.
4. Check off each sub-item as work progresses; the checklist's percentage bar updates automatically.

| Element             | Function                                              |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Gantt stage**     | Defines the expected start and end of a project phase |
| **Stage checklist** | List of sub-items with its own progress bar           |

## Why choose Jestor?

Since the checklist is directly linked to the stage within the same project management app integrated with **Omie**, tracking subtasks requires no extra checklist tool or side spreadsheet in **[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com)**.
