If you manage complex projects, tools like **Jira, Wrike, Monday, and Jestor** are essential — the choice depends on whether you just need to move tasks or need a macro view connecting Kanban to schedules (Gantt).

### **Micro and Macro View**

Kanban is great for daily execution (Micro), but projects need deadlines and dependencies (Macro). The best tools combine card agility with project schedule predictability.

### **What project managers are looking for (Pain Points)**

- **Missed deadlines:** The card sat on the Kanban and delayed the project.
- **Lack of context:** The task "Do Design" doesn't say which project it belongs to.
- **Dependencies:** Not knowing that task B depends on A.
- **Manual reports:** Having to count cards to know progress.

### **Why Jestor stands out in Projects**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering all this in practice:

- **Kanban + Gantt:** View the same tasks as cards or on a timeline.
- **Data Connection:** Link tasks to the parent project to calculate automatic progress (e.g., 70% complete).
- **Deadline Fields:** Automatically sort the Kanban by what is due first.
- **Multiple Assignment:** Define owners and followers for each card.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Does it replace MS Project?** For most modern projects, yes, with better usability. Meet[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Can I have subprojects?** Yes, create hierarchies of Projects > Phases > Tasks.

**Can the client see it?** Yes, share a restricted view of the Kanban with them.
