**Priority processes to automate** are usually the ones consuming the most team time, generating the most errors, and most affecting the end customer when they go wrong — in that order. Jestor's **dashboard** and **BPMS** help you see these three criteria with data, not guesswork.

### How Do You Prioritize Which Process to Automate First?

- Ask which process consumes the most manual hours from the team each week.
- Check which process generates the most rework or error complaints.
- Assess which process, if it stalls, directly affects the customer or revenue.
- Check which process already has organized data, making for a quicker automation.

### Why Is Automating the Wrong Process First a Common Mistake?

Teams tend to automate whatever is easiest to configure, not what generates the most impact. That creates a sense of progress without actually solving the bottleneck that hurts the operation the most.

### How Does Jestor Help Identify These Priorities?

- The **BPMS** organizes each process's data into phases, making it easier to see where time is being spent.
- **Chat with Data** lets you ask, in natural language, which process has the most cards stuck or the longest phase time.
- The **dashboard** consolidates metrics from multiple processes, making it visible which one weighs most on the operation.

| Criteria            | Question to ask                                        |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Time consumed**   | How many manual hours does this process take per week? |
| **Error frequency** | Does this process generate rework often?               |
| **Customer impact** | Does a delay here directly affect the customer?        |

### Frequently Asked Questions

### Should I Automate the Easiest Process or the Most Impactful One First?

The most impactful one usually brings more results, even if it takes more effort to configure initially.

### Does Chat With Data Help Prioritize Processes?

Yes, it lets you ask in natural language where the biggest bottlenecks are, with no manual report needed.

### Do I Need a Consultant to Do This Prioritization?

Not necessarily — with data in the dashboard, the team itself can identify the priorities.
