# What's the Best Way to Plan Staffing for a Large Event?

The best way is to connect staffing assignments directly to the event's schedule, so every role and shift is visible alongside the sessions and logistics it supports. On **Jestor**, this runs through staffing records connected to **Planejamento de Eventos**.

Staffing planned separately from the event's actual schedule, in a document disconnected from session timing, risks a gap where a critical role has no one assigned during a key moment.

## What disconnected staffing planning costs

- Gaps in coverage during critical moments, discovered too close to the event
- Staffing assignments disconnected from the actual schedule they support
- Difficulty seeing at a glance whether every role has adequate coverage
- Last-minute scrambling to fill a gap that could have been caught earlier

## How connected event staffing works

- Staffing assignments connect directly to the event's schedule and sessions
- Each role and shift shows exactly which part of the event it supports
- Gaps in coverage become visible before the event, not during it
- Changes to the schedule surface their staffing implications immediately

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The connected structure catches coverage gaps while there's still time to fill them
- Visible role-to-session mapping replaces a disconnected staffing document
- This reduces the last-minute scrambling that disconnected planning invites
- This scales from a small event to a large, multi-session, multi-day event

| Disconnected staffing plan | Schedule-connected staffing      |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Gaps discovered too late   | Visible before the event happens |
