How a project progresses: the sequence of
administrative or other processes through
which a piece of work passes from initiation
to completion.

12. A Simple Way to Think About It
Many things we do in our daily lives can benefit from a
workflow. In fact, you may already be using workflows
in your daily life.
Some examples include:
• Cooking a meal
• How you plan your daily work schedule

13. The Complexity of Workflows
Some workflows are simple, while others can be very
complex.
Example: Workout Routine vs. Writing a Song
• The workout routine may be linear and could
potentially have the same path from start to finish
every time.
• The process of writing a song may be more
dynamic. It may start at different points and
gradually finish in various ways.
