In today's world, working together is different than it was a few years ago. We often do not all work in the same location, days or time zone. Instead of internal mail, digital became the standard for exchanging messages. Meanwhile, there are often ’to-do’ lists of tasks to be completed in multiple applications. How do you keep an overview and progress?
The demand for promoting efficient collaboration is increasing. Streamlining workflows within and between applications can contribute significantly to improving collaboration.
In this article, we highlight some of the benefits of deploying workflows in applications:
Improving collaboration: Workflows provide the opportunity to improve collaboration among team members even when they are not physically present. By deploying triggers, automatic notifications can be sent to relevant team members when actions are assigned to them. For example, automatically sending notifications to the appropriate colleague for document review or requirements review.
Efficient follow-up of actions: In applications where not all employees are present daily, actions can sometimes go unnoticed for long periods of time. Workflows provide a solution by automatically sending notifications, instantly notifying team members of assigned tasks. This ensures timely and streamlined follow-up on actions.
Optimization of work processes: Workflows are especially useful in situations where tasks and actions are not immediately apparent. Think of reviewing documents, approving projects, or responding to specific requirements. Sending notifications and summaries directly to e-mail lowers the threshold for following up on tasks.
Innovative notifications: The success of workflows hinges on the usability of follow-up. It is important that notifications are intuitive and that engaging colleagues in the process is effortless. Minimize login procedures and provide a user-friendly interface to lower the barrier to participation.
Enough reason to choose an application that supports this functionality. In our application Datastorms the workflow function is integrated by default. Curious to see what this looks like? Check out here the movie.
