# How Can I Track SLA Inside a Kanban Board?

You track SLA inside a Kanban board by using native, stage-by-stage time tracking that runs on the same cards you already use, no separate reporting tool needed. On **Jestor**, **SLA** is a native property of any process built on the platform's cards.

A mapped process without SLA tracking shows the stages, but not where time is actually being lost. Adding SLA turns a static process map into something you can actively manage.

## What a process loses without SLA

- No data on which stage is consistently the slowest
- Delays discovered only after a deadline has already been missed
- No way to compare performance across teams or time periods
- Managers relying on impressions instead of real time data

## How SLA fits into a mapped Kanban process

- Each stage automatically logs how long a card spends there
- Opening any card shows a full time breakdown, an x-ray of that specific case
- Thresholds can trigger automatic alerts before a deadline is missed
- This data feeds dashboards without a separate manual report

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- SLA tracking is native to the same cards used for the rest of the process
- No separate tool or manual logging required to get this data
- Applies equally to support, approvals, sales, or any other mapped process
- Turns a process map into an actively monitored, measurable workflow
