Define the sequence
The steps that must happen in order, and which of them a person owns.
Workflows
Connect the steps, handoffs, and approvals behind recurring tasks. See where work stands and what needs to happen next.
A human step is a step, not an exception the system routes around when nobody answers.
A workflow that stopped at step four resumes at step four, with everything the first three produced.
One trace across the whole sequence, including the waiting, so you can see where time actually goes.
You see what the whole sequence cost, which is the number you can actually make a decision with.
The steps that must happen in order, and which of them a person owns.
Each step is handled by the seat scoped for it, so a workflow is a route through your team rather than a separate engine.
A step that needs a person waits for that person. It does not time out and guess.
