Workflow best practices
Summary: collibra_data_citizens emphasizes the importance of designing for workflow modularity and reuse to shorten development time and reduce complexity in Collibra. By promoting a unified approach to business process governance, it helps avoid rework and enhances user experience. The author suggests using examples like the "Voting Sub Process" to achieve reusability and simplification in workflows. Master workflow diagrams should include all sub-workflows for clarity, and each should focus on a single simple process. Additional resources are available for Collibra users for further guidance on workflow best practices.
Design for workflow modularity and reuse whenever functionally and technically possible.
Impact
Shorten development and decrease complexity of individual workflows.
Promote a more unified approach to business process governance in Collibra.
Avoid re-work, unnecessary complexity, and excessive workflows executing on obsolete or over-abundant workflow definitions.
Improve user experience and usability of forms in workflows.
Recommended action
A Workflow, such as "Voting Sub Process", is an examples of out-of-the-box workflows that can be called by other workflows to achieve reusability, modularity, simplification and shortening of the calling workflow.
Master workflow diagrams should visually include all called sub-workflows to provide an overall picture of the entire process flow.
Each sub-workflow should focus on a single, simple sub-process or function.
Topic area
Execution and Monitoring (Workflows)
Validation Criteria
Determine if individual workflows can be modularized by functionalities.
Ensure the workflow diagrams are visually easy to understand.
Review the workflow process definintion.
