The states are the process
Every task on the Korba café flows through the same set of stages — To Do, In Progress, Review, Done. Read left to right, that is the journey of a single piece of work from being asked for to being signed off.
Each stage is called a state, and the list of states is simply your process written down. Not a secret kept in somebody’s head — here, where everyone reads the same thing.
Shaping it yourself
Below the diagram, the states and the moves between them are an ordinary, editable list. Nothing here needs a developer or a support ticket — Youssef changes the process himself.
He adds a Client Approval stage, right there in the list, because on this job Salma’s drawings must pass the client before a task can be called done.
Wiring it in
A state on its own is just a name, though. The thing that makes it reachable is a transition — the allowed path from one stage to the next. Without one, Client Approval would be a stage no work could ever enter.
So he wires a transition: work in Review can now move to Client Approval before it reaches Done. That single link is what enforces the rule that nothing skips the client’s sign-off.
Guarding a move
Any transition can also be gated with a rule — who is allowed to move it, or what must be true first. A snag, for instance, can be refused close-out until its photo evidence is attached.
The habit that matters
The habit: write down the process the team actually follows, not the one a textbook prescribes. A workflow that matches the site gets used; one that does not is quietly bypassed.
