Workflow

Workflow - The movement of data, documents, or tasks through a work process; generally used in the context of technologies that automate workflows. Data Governance_ programs often strive to address workflows by embedding governance controls (e.g., approvals, decision steps) or by providing loop-outs to governance processes (e.g., issue resolution, change control).
