Workflow Guide

Welcome to the Workflow Guide by Wrike

A workflow is a series of tasks performed in a specific order to achieve a goal. Each and every workflow adds structure to the way we work, helping us to track progress, optimize our productivity, and take tasks and projects from creation to completion.

Here at Wrike, we’ve been obsessed with making work flow for almost two decades. It’s how we’ve helped teams succeed in every sector and industry, from manufacturing to marketing, media, and technology.

We know how important workflow management is to enhance organizational efficiencies, boost team performance, and deliver real-world results. That’s why we built a platform packed with workflow features, from customizable request forms to time-saving automations. 

But we also recognize that building the perfect workflow takes time and effort. It helps to understand workflow basics: What defining work processes means, how a workflow is constructed, and where workflow principles of efficiency can be applied to your business. 

This guide offers up all the information you need to design your ideal workflow. We’ll introduce you to the concept, explain how to map your process, and walk you through the benefits of workflow automation. We’ll deep dive into the workflow tools available to teams like yours, learn how to map and draw workflows, and discover how all this data can make a real difference to your workload.

Together, we’ll make sure you have all the strategies and best practices for improving the way you work, from start to finish. Let’s dive in!
