Workflow management rules are the core of your workflow. You can automatize repetitive tasks, anticipate bottlenecks, and streamline your work with the appropriate tools. But even the best-laid plans can be scuppered by unexpected events or mistakes made by employees. A workflow management system can identify potential problems before they become major problems and can aid in avoiding lasting harm by resolving them quickly.
Depending on the complexity of your workflow, there are various types. Sequential workflows are the result of a series of actions that must be carried out in order. The first step cannot start until the previous step is completed. State-machine workflows require input from several team members, and often repeat until the task is completed. Rules-driven workflows are a sequential process, but contain additional rules, usually created as conditional “if this is the case, then this” statements. Parallel workflows tackle a series of tasks at the same time to move them toward completion.
