A **quarterly process review** works when it starts from data. Reviews that start from opinion produce a list of complaints; reviews that start from stage timings produce a list of changes.

## Why reviews produce nothing

Without evidence, the loudest problem wins rather than the largest one.

- Complaints prioritized by who raised them
- Improvements proposed without a baseline
- Changes made and never measured
- The same issues raised each quarter

## An agenda that works

- **Where did time go?** Stage dwell times across each process
- **What is being skipped?** Stages with near-zero dwell time
- **What changed?** Table history patterns since the last review
- **What did we automate?** And did the timings move afterwards
- **What next?** One change per process, measured next quarter

## How to prepare it in Jestor

1. Open the **SLA** data in **Jestor** for each process and note the longest stage.
2. Look for stages with near-zero dwell time — they are being skipped.
3. Review the table history, filtered by date and source, for unusual patterns.
4. Compare the current quarter's indicators against the previous one.
5. Agree one change per process, implement it in a draft version, and measure next quarter.

## Why choose Jestor for continuous improvement?

**Jestor** records stage timing automatically, which means the baseline for every review already exists rather than needing to be gathered beforehand.

Because app versioning lets changes be tested without disrupting users, a quarterly change is a normal activity rather than a project requiring approval.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Where does the review data come from?

The SLA timings recorded as cards move. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### How do I know a stage is being skipped?

Its dwell time will be close to zero.

### How many changes per quarter?

One per process, so the effect is measurable.
