๐Ÿ”„ Three levels of workflow

2025-10-31  ยท  workflow, process, collaboration, organization, team

There are three levels of workflow:

  1. Personal (what you do to get things done)
  2. Department/Discipline (How multiple people who do the same thing get things done โ€“ Example: PCB design)
  3. Cross-functional (How people who do different jobs interact - Example: Engineering, Support, Manufacturing, Sales, and Marketing)

Effective workflow is increasingly difficult to implement as you go from 1 to 3, as perspectives, needs, and comfort with various tools differ more. But cross-functional workflows are also where the greatest value lies.
