Why do we need approval workflows?
Approval workflows are essential because they provide a structured tool for stakeholders to review and approve decisions, reducing errors and ensuring agreement across parties.
Here's why we need approval workflows:
- While they may seem like an extra step, a well-defined workflow actually boosts efficiency by ensuring that only correct and approved updates make it into the system.
- They ensure that proper audit trails are maintained and that the project is always compliant with applicable regulations.
- They improve coordination across departments and teams, ensuring operational alignment and effective communication.
- They specify who is responsible for approving decisions or documents, aiding in accountability tracking.
- You can incorporate multiple levels of review that help to detect potential issues or errors that might not be apparent to a single person, thereby minimizing the risk of costly mistakes.
