    • Q: what is the difference between a Workflow Management System and a Workflow application?
    • A: A Workflow Management System (WfMS) is a software platform that is used to design, execute, and monitor workflows or processes. It typically provides a set of tools and features that allow users to define and automate complex workflows, such as tasks, conditions, and dependencies. It may also include features such as reporting and analysis tools, and support for collaboration and communication among team members.

      A Workflow application, on the other hand, is a software application that is specifically designed to support and automate a particular workflow or process. It is usually focused on a specific set of tasks or activities, and provides a set of tools and features that are tailored to those tasks.

      The main difference between a WfMS and a Workflow application is in the scope and purpose of the software. A WfMS is a broader platform that is designed to support and automate a wide range of workflows and processes, while a Workflow application is more focused on a specific workflow or set of tasks.

      For example, a WfMS might be used to automate and manage the entire sales process in a company, including tasks such as lead generation, qualification, proposal generation, and closing. A Workflow application, on the other hand, might be used to automate a specific task within that process, such as proposal generation.

    • Q: What are some examples of Workflow Management Development Platforms?
    • A: Workflow management development platforms are software tools that allow developers to create custom workflow applications or integrate workflow capabilities into existing applications. Here are a few examples of workflow management development platforms:
      • Zapier: This platform allows developers to create custom workflows by connecting different applications and services through a series of "zaps," which are automated tasks that are triggered by certain events.
      • Microsoft Flow: This platform enables developers to create custom workflows by connecting different applications and services using a visual interface. It also includes a library of pre-built templates for common workflow scenarios.
      • Nintex: This platform offers a range of tools for creating and automating workflows, including a visual workflow designer and integrations with popular applications and services.
      • Workato: This platform allows developers to create custom workflows by connecting different applications and services using a visual
      • Joget Workflow: This open-source platform enables developers to create custom workflow applications using a visual interface, and includes features such as form design, process management, and data integration.

    • QUOTE: Airflow is a platform to programmatically author, schedule and monitor workflows.

      Use Airflow to author workflows as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) of tasks. The Airflow scheduler executes your tasks on an array of workers while following the specified dependencies. Rich command line utilities make performing complex surgeries on DAGs a snap. The rich user interface makes it easy to visualize pipelines running in production, monitor progress, and troubleshoot issues when needed.

      When workflows are defined as code, they become more maintainable, versionable, testable, and collaborative.
