Introduction
Welcome! In this lesson, we’re going to explore the business goals of over.vu’s application, Workflow.
Workflow
Workflow is designed to bring disjointed or isolated processes under one unified platform where you can do the work, monitor the work, and report on the work in one place. This streamlines project-level management and helps team leads make more informed decisions based on real-time data. Workflow helps increase efficiency by reducing onboarding time, eliminating outdated processes like email chains and Excel trackers, and prevents connected tasks from getting lost. It also improves visibility, so you can monitor every step of all of your projects in one place, know exactly where things stand, and quickly identify issues with up-to-date data. It improves accuracy by reducing manual coordination and errors, while simplifying your tools so even non-technical users can manage and work in the application.
