Workflow provides simple and effective time and action calendars to track progress through the product lifecycle. It can help you coordinate, manage and track pre-production delivery activities on the products with internal and external partners.

Workflow is a configurable tool that allows the creation of critical path activities. Tasks are associated to the different activities and are duration-based. Activities and tasks can be associated to styles for calendar management. You can assign tasks to status fields within the product, which can be automatically updated as the product goes through its lifecycle. Tasks can be set to repeat for a pre-defined number of times.

You can send alerts in the form of e-mail notifications to users and managers at key milestones. The workflows can be viewed as a list of tasks or as a Gantt chart.

Workflow templates can be created and re-used. Workflow instances can be updated within products and re-scheduled.
