Workflow is one of the most difficult things to implement if you are going for the "workflow designer" "activities" "transitions" "conditions" "filters" "automated tasks" "manual tasks" ... way :)
What is the type of application like? Is it content management, e procurement, pure data entry? Workflow has a generic model, but businesses often fail in implementing workflow because they are obsessed by business processes, and don't see and handle the usability aspect of it. What issues do you have defining user -> activity -> process relations? Keep in mind, real world examples in Content Management situations have shown a 400% increase of investment and lower return on investment when companies are overdoing workflow. My advice; Keep it simple, straight forward, and userfriendly. If I can't get something to work on Windows I log in as Administrator. Users in a workflow process do the same.

I have a client who is obsessed with defining standard operating procedures. If I put up a quickie workflow management system for the guy I'd win some points. I haven't gone through the requirements phase because I'm looking for a quickie example. My general problem in defining this task is identifying the person / task / business process relationship in the database. Does anyone know of an online tutorial with workflow as an example? Any RAD language is cool. In general I want to build a larger "TurboTax" style decision tree admin system in CFCs. You know, a Workflow BUILDER so the clients can say, Create name for task, Assign task to Dave, email him this text, upon completion, task is submitted to Steve for approval, so choose Steve from dropdown list. That kind of thing where the clients drag and drop, the data is stored in tables and we can reuse this for every standard operating procedure ever. Anyone know of any examples of this kind of system- even an online demo might help me get my head around it so this doesn't take weeks. THANKS!
