Workflow management: The key to productivity
Everything we do, whether it’s at the office or at home, forms part of a sequence. Steps are followed to get things done. You start by doing one thing and progressing to the next until finally, the task is complete.
This is described as a workflow. The series of steps or actions needed to make things happen. And while it can form part of your daily routine, it is also critical to the success of every business and needs to be properly managed.
Examples of workflows include:
- HR: Hiring a new team member, giving them a handbook, providing training, testing their knowledge and monitoring their ongoing progress.
- Creative processes: Brainstorming, developing an outline, creating the first draft, receiving edits, reviewing and publishing.
Questions your workflow needs to address
To ensure that your workflow is functioning properly, it needs to meet certain criteria and answer four important questions.
- What must be done?
- Who needs to complete the task?
- What is the deadline?
- How will it be done?
Your workflow can be represented in several different ways that can range from basic lists and timelines to Gannt charts and Kanban boards. With so many options available, a system to manage it all becomes important. This will help to centralize everything, make it easier to manage and ensure that everyone is on the same page at all times. Enter Monday.com.
