# Pipeline

> Your main board. Every role you're tracking lives here with a current status.

## What the Pipeline is

The Pipeline is where the actual work happens. Every role you've decided to pursue gets a card here, and every card stays in one of five stages.

If you keep the Pipeline current, the rest of Rolvelio takes care of itself. If you let it go stale, nothing else will feel right either.

## The five stages

| Stage            | When to use it                                                  |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Saved**        | You want to keep it under consideration but haven't applied yet |
| **Applied**      | You've submitted the application                                |
| **Interviewing** | You're in active interview stages                               |
| **Offer**        | An offer is on the table                                        |
| **Rejected**     | The process is over, kept for reference                         |

## When to update a role

Move a role as soon as something actually changes:

* you hit submit on the application
* a screening call gets booked
* you enter an interview loop
* the company goes quiet or closes the process
* an offer comes through

Status changes don't need to be perfect. Just keep them roughly honest.

## A few habits that help

**Keep Saved intentional.** The Saved column works best when it holds roles you still plan to act on, not a graveyard of interesting listings from three months ago.

**Treat Interviewing seriously.** If a role is in Interviewing, it should usually have a next task, a relevant contact saved, and the right resume or cover letter ready to go.

**Clean the board weekly.** A shorter, more current pipeline is easier to work from than a long one that's half-outdated. If something's clearly dead, move it to Rejected.

## Works well with

* **Timeline**: to see how long roles have been moving
* **Calendar**: to attach tasks and dates to active roles
* **Documents**: when you're tailoring files per application
* **Contacts**: when recruiter or hiring manager context matters

## Deleted roles

If you accidentally remove a role, it goes to the **Bin** first. You can restore it from there. Trashed roles are kept for a limited period before being permanently cleaned up.

<Tip>
  One clean, up-to-date pipeline beats three tabs of saved jobs and a spreadsheet. Trust the board.
