Template preview

Start with a clear working structure.

The workflow design canvas turns a recurring piece of work into a record that another person can understand and continue. The working view makes demand, intake, and triage visible so discussion can move from general opinion to a specific action or decision.

Complete intake with the specific fact, choice, evidence, owner, and review implication required by the workflow design canvas.

Step 2Assessment and design

Use a small controlled set of states, define the entry and exit condition for each, and record the date of the latest change.
