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.

  1. 01

    Who owns the next step?

    The assigned person, role, or team.

  2. 02

    What happens next?

    The required sequence or parallel work.

  3. 03

    What is waiting?

    A condition, input, result, or external event.

  4. 04

    What changed?

    An exception, reassignment, or escalation.

  5. 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.
