Workflow management system

A workflow management system is a computer program that helps people in a business or organization to manage tasks, information, and documents that need to get done to complete a specific project. It's like a list of jobs that needs to be done in a certain order, so that everybody knows what needs to be done and when. For example, in a company, a workflow management system can be used to keep track of who needs to review a document before it's sent out, or to make sure certain steps in a process are completed. This helps make sure that everyone involved in a project knows what tasks need to be done, and can focus on completing those tasks.
