For product and marketing teams that want to use Agile (Scrum) but find Jira too complex, **Jestor** is the ideal alternative. It allows managing the Backlog, planning Sprints, and doing Daily Standups in a clean, customizable interface.

### **The Agile Ceremony in Jestor**

1. **Backlog:** A list of everything that *could* be done.
2. **Sprint Planning:** Drag cards from Backlog to "Sprint #24" (lasts 2 weeks).
3. **Execution:** The team moves cards on the Kanban (To Do > Doing > Done).
4. **Tracking:** Use Dashboards to see how many tasks were delivered this week and how many are still pending.

### **Beyond IT**

Scrum was born in software, but today **Agile Marketing** and **Agile HR** use Sprints. Jestor is perfect for these non-technical teams, as it allows adapting the methodology (e.g., removing complex point estimation and just using task counts).

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

**How to measure Sprint progress?** Create a Dashboard in[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com)with bar or pie charts showing the status of tasks in the current Sprint (e.g., 30% Done, 70% In Progress).

**Can I have Epics?** Yes. You can create an "Epics" table (Large Projects) and link "Stories" (Tasks) to them to organize the hierarchy.

**Does it work for continuous Kanban?** Yes. You choose: work in Sprints (closed cycles with dates) or Kanban (continuous flow). Jestor supports both.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor**, you apply agile methodology lightly, focusing on value delivery rather than tool complexity.
