Stages and State Machines: The Ideal Way to Model and Manage Workflows

Mike Fitzmaurice

Vice President of North America at WEBCON

If you've heard of Power Automate Business Process Flows; they're an implementation of stage/state machine logic available to companies with Premium licensing.

SharePoint Designer 2013 supported stages, and third-party options range from emulation (Nintex) to engine-level support (WEBCON).

This session will start by explaining how stage-based designs and processes work, move on to why they're often far better than classic sequential flowcharts, and conclude with examples of how to build and run such solutions.

It's the most useful workflow "secret" you can possibly learn.
