SharePoint Workflow 101 Part 4: Best Practices and Extending Workflows

Thanks for staying with me as I walked you through the basics of workflow in our favorite intranet platform – Microsoft SharePoint (and I’ll see you at the Ignite Conference at the end of the month!). 

To wrap up our series, I wanted to talk a little about some best practices with workflow then offer some ways that you can extend your workflows. 

SharePoint Workflow 101 Part 1: Intro and Core Concepts

With most clients I’ve worked with over the years, I inevitably get asked the same thing sooner or later – “what’s workflow?"  Or it’s “teach me about workflow,” or “how do you customize an default workflow?"  

With this blog series I want to try to take explain some core concepts of workflow, then give some direction on creating them, the interface, customizing the default ones, some best practices and some ideas on extending them.  Sounds like a lot, and it is!  There are 2 and 3-day training courses just on workflow, but my goal is to give you some basics and direction to get you going with your adventure with SharePoint workflows.  I won’t go into many step by steps on building a sample workflow, but I want to help you started.
