Which statement best distinguishes a project workflow from a process workflow?

• A. A workflow describes a sequence of tasks; a process encompasses more than just tasks.
• B. A process is identical to a workflow.
• C. They are the same.
• D. A process focuses only on notifications.

Answer: (A)

The key distinction is about scope and purpose: a project workflow maps the sequence of tasks needed to deliver a unique, time-bound outcome, while a process workflow describes the ongoing, repeatable way work is done, including rules, roles, data flows, approvals, and governance. Because of that, saying a workflow is simply a sequence of tasks captures only part of the picture; a process encompasses more than tasks and covers how work is standardized and repeated across many instances. The other ideas suggest the two are identical or that a process is only about notifications, which misses the broader, continuous nature of processes and their broader components beyond just task sequences.
