What Is Workflow?

"Workflow" is one of those terms someone coined based on the idea that work "flows" through an organization. The visual image suggested by the term is supposed to be a boat (the work) flowing down a stream or river with the current carrying it smoothly towards some ultimate destination.

In the military when people talk about workflow they are often referring exclusively to staff work. While staff work is a workflow process, it is not the only one. Any activity that can be explicitly defined and modeled, from ordering a chair to submitting a performance report, can be automated with the right system.

The people clamoring loudest for relief at the moment, however, are mostly involved in staff work - and with good reason. Unlike that boat on the river, our staff work frequently looks a lot more like a salmon trying to swim up a waterfall.

Defining Workflow

Workflow is, first and foremost, about defining processes. Workflow process models normally have two levels of representation. The first level defines the process of the flow of work through the system. The second level represents the state of execution of a particular process, usually described as an "enactment."

For the purposes of workflow modeling, we'll assume a process consists of a name and a sequence of activities needed to execute the process.

At the next level in the process, an activity consists of a name, a set of roles and actions associated with that activity and usually a completion condition.

One thing to bear in mind at this point is some activities contain enough complexity to qualify as complete processes in and of themselves. These key activities are encapsulated within the larger process and are often the critical components whose performance will make or break the entire system. It's quite possible to model the larger process correctly but then have a workflow system fail because of a lack of sufficient detail at the activity level.

My personal preference when modeling activities is to bound them within single roles. A role is what an actor plays in the execution of an activity. An actor can be a person, a group of people, a computer program or an organization that provides the functionality for the system by executing activities.

If we define our actors' roles clearly for each activity, we'll have a better chance of defining and meeting the specific requirements of those activities. Each activity should consist of the actions executed contiguously by a single role. When the role changes, we've entered a new activity. We should be able to reduce just about any process to manageable chunks for implementation with this method. We'll talk more about roles later.

An action is a description of something to be done. "After coordinating, forward this to the next reviewer," "send an e-mail to acknowledge receipt," and "apply digital signature" are all examples of specific actions that may be executed by a person or software agent.

The tedious part of building a workflow system is ensuring that every action executed by every actor in every role for every activity in the process is accounted for somewhere in the workflow system. Each action should also satisfy an argument ("if this, then this; if that, then that") that generates further action based on a perceived (either by human or machine) value.

That's the process level. At the execution level, each iteration of a workflow process is considered an "enactment." This consists of a unique enactment ID number, a reference to the process being enacted, a reference to current activity within that process, binding actors and roles to activities and matching arguments to values.

In plain English, every time we send work through the system we should know the following at any given point in the process:

• Something that uniquely identifies each work package (ID number).
• What action are we performing? (Ordering, coordinating, modifying, etc.)
• Where are we in the process? (How many activities have we completed?)
• Who or what is currently involved in the action?
• How is the work proceeding? (Are the actors responding appropriately?)
• When is the work complete? (At any level: action, activity or enactment.)

Here's the scary part: as complicated as it appears, the description above greatly understates the difficulty of actually modeling a process with the intent of building workflow around it. In addition to explicitly defining every action in the process, particularly the ones to be automated completely, we must also define the networks of activities that specify parallel, iterative and conditional interactions between actions, actors and activities.

One thing that helps is that workflow enactments are case-based. Every piece of work we do, for example, is executed for a specific business case and almost always for a specific customer. The goal of workflow management is to handle the enactment of those cases as efficiently and effectively as possible.

So, we design workflow processes to handle similar types of cases, with workflow management being what we do to try and shepherd our work through our organizations. With that basic understanding, we will now move on to workflow management systems.

Laziest Soldier
A sergeant was addressing a squad of 20 and said: "I have a nice easy job for the laziest man here. Put up your hand if you are the laziest."19 men raised their hands, and the sergeant asked the other man: "Why didn't you raise your hand?"The man replied: "Too much trouble, sarge."

My Friend Died and I Didn't Even Get a Chance To Say Goodbye

There are very few things in life that are harder to face than the sudden death of someone you care about. Whether it's a friend, a sibling, or even someone you just sort of know, the loss of their life can make you feel like you have an enormous hole inside yourself.

It's especially difficult for young people to experience the tragic and unexpected loss of a friend, because it happens at a time when you are feeling like you're getting your life under control, and none of this "bad stuff" could happen to you. The shock of seeing that it actually can happen to someone close to you can make you feel pretty vulnerable yourself.

It also happens at a time in your life where you're usually putting some distance between yourself and your parents, who have been your main source of support. You may feel you need them more than ever, but your quest for independence also makes you not want to depend on them too much. This can result in great feelings of confusion.

So there's a lot that goes on in your mind, body and heart when someone close to you dies.

Boycott Danish Product !!

At least 17 Denmark newspaper have insulted Prophet Muhammad again.Can we use our freedom of expression to announce that we love the Prophet more than our lives? Are we going to die if we do not use product's benefiting the country that slanders our beloved Prophet.i agree that we should not resort to violence whenever we respond to the insult from other people toward the Prophet.But, we could also tell these people to leave the Prophet and the faith of muslims alone.Companies like the EMKAY Group, which manages a few of chains of super markets, the Carrefour and the Dubai Cooperation Society had, in their agenda, considered removing Danish Product from their shelves.Let us all be united in this stand!!

Declare International Mobile Shop!! Ha²ha²

Today, after 1 year my mobile shop open, I want to declare my mobile shop at Hentian Kajang as International Mobile Shop because my customers come from many countries in the world. Some of them come from Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, Bangladesh, India, Philippines, Jordan, Iraq, North Americas and Yemen. In my heart, I very like the customers come from China, Indonesia and Myanmar. They a good customer because they don’t speak too much too buy anything in my shop and they a one of my regular customer. Sometimes I don’t understand what they talking about until they use body language.Ha²ha².But sometimes I don’t like the customer from Arabic people. They a very difficult to handles and they always want to pay cheap and get the very² good services. Damn!! Why the human like this come to Malaysian? If you want to know, the Indonesia people always buy a prepaid card (Everyday the same people).I thinks this is their entertainment include “melepak at shopping complex”.he²he². Actually, all my customers very like my services and product (bukan riak tapi kenyataan) he²he² because I always do this thing “Customer is always right” and be they are king or queen (be friend) when they come to my mobile shop.
