What is a workflow? A workflow 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 move data (tasks) through a series of steps from initiation to completion.
Processes: A process is a more general notion than workflow and can apply to, for example, physical or biological processes, whereas a workflow is typically a process or collection of processes described in the context of work, such as all processes occurring in a machine shop.
Workflows are for managing tasks that follow a specific sequence. The workflow meaning lies in how individuals and organizations complete their work—whether producing goods, delivering services, processing data, or engaging in other value-creating activities.
