Transforming a project spreadsheet into a Kanban board means the status column that only made sense to the project manager becomes a visual board anyone on the team can read at a glance. In **Jestor**, any uploaded spreadsheet's table can generate a **Kanban** view with one click.

Project spreadsheets communicate status poorly by design — a text value in a column requires someone to actually read every row to understand where things stand.

## What project spreadsheets fail to show visually

- Status buried in a text column, requiring row-by-row reading to understand
- No visual sense of how many tasks are in each stage at a glance
- No color-coding beyond whatever manual formatting someone applied
- Stakeholders needing a summary instead of the raw spreadsheet

## How the transformation to Kanban works

- Upload the project spreadsheet, and its rows become cards in a structured table
- Generate a **Kanban** board with one click, turning the status column into visual columns
- Cards can be color-coded based on conditions — overdue, at risk, on track
- Stakeholders see the board directly, without needing a separate summary

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The Kanban transformation happens instantly from the uploaded spreadsheet structure
- Visual status communicates far more at a glance than a spreadsheet column
- Conditional color highlights what needs attention without anyone asking
- The underlying data stays the same — only how it's visualized changes

| Spreadsheet status column | Kanban board                |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| Text value, row by row    | Visual columns, color-coded |
