A sequence of steps that repeats, with a trigger for every step.
Every step of a workflow has someone or something that starts it and someone who carries it out. Writing that down first shows you where a step waits until somebody remembers it. Only then do you choose the stage and the tool.
Example from Module 1
A weekly report: the schedule starts the draft text, and a reminder to the person who approves is the trigger for sending.
Module 1: “Who presses the next button?”. In the Werkbank course room, with sign-in.
