Business Process
Approval is a moment. Follow-through is the work.
A consequential decision rarely completes the response. Business Process gives the work that follows an owner, a sequence, visible handoffs, and a way to handle waits or exceptions without losing the original context.
Shape the path. Change it when the work changes.
Teams define steps, owners, waits, conditions, and exception paths in a reviewable draft. Saving the draft does not publish it; review and publication remain separate actions.
- 01
Who owns the next step?
The assigned person, role, or team.
- 02
What happens next?
The required sequence or parallel work.
- 03
What is waiting?
A condition, input, result, or external event.
- 04
What changed?
An exception, reassignment, or escalation.
- 05
Why did this begin?
The originating situation and approved decision.
Keep the decision attached to the work.
A task list records activity. Business Process also preserves why the work began, which Approval authorized it, and what changed when the normal path no longer fit.
