What is workflow?
A workflow is a system for managing repetitive processes and tasks
which occur in a particular order. It can be visualized with a diagram
or checklist and optimized with workflow management software. It is
an end-to-end process that helps teams meet their goals by
connecting the right people to the right data at the right time.
Workflows help to plan and monitor projects in a methodical and
logical way, allowing teams to achieve important deadlines and
milestones. Some examples of workflows are:
Employee onboarding: It is a workflow that involves multiple
departments and steps to welcome and training new workers.
Invoice processing: It is a workflow that involves creating,
sending, and tracking invoices for customers.
Content creation: It is a workflow that involves researching,
writing, editing and publishing content for websites and blogs.
Types of workflow
There are three primary types of workflow they are:
Project workflows
Simple process workflow
Conditional process workflow
Project workflows are the generally one-off workflow designed to
keep a project on track so deliverables are on time, accountability
is clear, and the team doesn’t experience any bottlenecks.
Simple process workflow is the type of workflow that covers all
the predictable, repeatable tasks.
Conditional process workflow uses a form of ‘if/then’ logic to
structure the process.
