Workflows Minimize Coordination Challenges
- Workflows reduce the need for communication and coordination between individual workers by establishing a structure for all of them to work in. As such, many coordination challenges could be avoided by setting up this pre-specified structure.
- Without workflows, role-based teams can still navigate coordination challenges by setting up a specific work plan early on in the project so that all workers have a clear idea of their role within the team and can orient their actions accordingly.
- However, without an initial plan and prior communication, role-based teams can fall apart due to confusion and frustration over individual decisions, with workers downstream suffering the consequences of the poorly thought-out decisions of those upstream.
