What is a workflow? A set of activities that coordinate people and / or software... EscalateToManager Example activities…. CheckInventory Like a flowchart…. …organized into some form of workflow. Or a state diagram….

Workflow Workflow is everywhere Every “if” statement Every Web page transition Think about all the places where your app has conditional logic… Need to take the next step Get the complex workflow logic out of the applications Capture this logic into a system Expose this system to developers

Windows Workflow Foundation Extensible framework & API to build workflow centric products Single workflow technology for all of Windows Fundamental part of the Office “12” value proposition
