What does "Workflow" mean to you?

Workflow means different things to different people. We have some ideas about what workflow means but for now I'd like this discussion to be more open ended. The central questions is what does workflow mean to you? Specfic examples are helpful. Answers can be abstract or specific to Contour. (a demo of Contour is available)

I'm putting together a post with a draft of our "light" workflow option for drop down lists within Contour.

In this context, Change Requests should be kept as "proposed" until some agreed to approval criteria are met - for example, PM review, team review, etc.  This could also entail some means of voting for or against the change within the tool.

Re: What does "Workflow" mean to you?

 

To me the simplest description of a workflow is the list of steps or stages that must be completed with regard to a task or document.  However, within a tool such as Contour, that definition needs to be extended to allowing for assignment of each step to particular users, delegation, notification when a step is assigned and/or completed, as well as acceptance and/or rejection of the tasking.
