Deciding **who owns a process** determines whether it improves. Without a named owner, a process is everyone's responsibility to follow and nobody's to fix.

## What happens without an owner

Problems are noticed by everyone and addressed by no one.

- Complaints raised in meetings and never actioned
- Changes requiring a project because nobody is authorized
- Drift going uncorrected for quarters
- Documentation nobody is responsible for maintaining

## What an owner needs

| Requirement                    | Why                                      |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Authority to change it**     | Otherwise ownership is nominal           |
| **Visibility of what happens** | To notice drift before it is raised      |
| **Access to the data**         | To find the bottleneck rather than guess |
| **A safe way to change it**    | So changes do not require a project      |

## How to enable ownership in Jestor

1. Give the owner a builder seat in **Jestor**, with full control on the relevant apps.
2. Turn on table following so they see what everyone else changes.
3. Give them the **SLA** data, which shows where the process actually slows.
4. Use app versioning so they can change a live process without disruption.
5. Have them maintain the documentation attached to the process.

## Why choose Jestor for process ownership?

**Jestor** was designed for operations managers rather than developers, which means ownership can sit with the person who understands the process rather than with whoever can build.

That is the practical difference: with authority, visibility, data, and a safe way to change things, an owner improves a process continuously instead of once per project.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Through table following and the SLA data.
