🧩 What’s a Workflow?
A workflow is a structured series of steps your team takes to get something done. It typically includes:
-
Steps: The stages of the process
-
People: Who’s responsible for what
-
Approvals: Where sign-offs or decisions happen
-
Tools: What software or platforms are used
-
Rules or Logic: How tasks are routed or triggered

A new campaign starts with goal-setting and target audience selection. Then content is created. A manager reviews and approves it. After approval, it’s published on social media. Later, the team reviews campaign metrics to analyze performance.
✅ Tips for a Strong Submission

Be clear but concise—no need to overexplain.
-
Highlight any current pain points.
-
If possible, mention approvals or bottlenecks.
-
If a step depends on another, mention the dependency.
