The drawing

What a workflow is.

A workflow is the ordered path work takes from a trigger to an outcome. A workflow diagram turns that path into steps, decision points, handoffs, and loops, so people can see what happens next and who needs to act.

Use a workflow for work that must be followed consistently, such as an approval, an incident response, or onboarding. Start with the normal path, then add the decisions and exceptions that change it.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a workflow diagram?

It is a visual sequence of tasks, decisions, and handoffs that shows how work moves from start to finish.

What should a workflow include?

Include the trigger, the main steps, decisions that branch the work, responsible roles where useful, and the outcome.

When should I use a workflow instead of a checklist?

Use a workflow when the order, decisions, or handoffs matter. A checklist is better for a simple set of independent tasks.

How do I improve a workflow?

Map the current path, identify delays or unclear ownership, then change one step, decision, or handoff at a time.
