Many confuse Kanban with task lists. The real power of **Jestor Kanban** lies in managing high-volume continuous processes — where each card is an Order, a Candidate, or a Ticket that needs to follow strict business rules.

### **Task vs. Process**

- **Task:** "Call client." It's disposable. Done, gone.
- **Process:** "Client Onboarding." It's structured. Goes through steps (Documentation > Setup > Training).

Jestor is built for **Processes**. You don't just want to "check off" items; you want to track that client's lifecycle.

### **Structuring your Pipeline**

1. **Columns are States:** Use columns to indicate the work phase (e.g., "To Do," "Doing," "Blocked").
2. **Safety Locks:** In Jestor, you can prevent card movement. Example: "Cannot move to 'Paid' if no attachment exists."
3. **SLA (Deadlines):** The card changes color if it stays too long in the same column.

### **Why not use simple tools?**

"Digital Post-it" tools are too flexible. Someone can delete a card by mistake. Jestor brings database security to the Kanban interface. Nothing is lost, everything is auditable.

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

**Can I have checklists inside the card?** Yes. Each phase can have mandatory sub-tasks to ensure quality standards.

**How to see history?** The system records a full log: who moved it, when, and what changed.

**Does it work for large teams?** Yes. You can use Swimlanes to separate work by team or priority.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor Kanban**, you have rigorous control over your operation, with the visual ease of drag-and-drop.
