Depending on personnel resourcing availability and internal business requirements, there are different ways to set the author/review workflow.
Workflow | Description | Methodology |
---|---|---|
Series | Authoring is completed before review is started. Once review is complete, an author can then pick up any rows that have been identified as problematic and then the author/reviewing cycle continues This may be useful when time is not an issue. Doing it this way may make it easier to ensure consistency as reviewing can be completed when looking at the map as a whole (as well as individual map rows). As work is not done in parallel, this method can be more time consuming. |
Note: Once an author task is completed, if rows have been rejected by a reviewer, then a new author task needs to be created. |
Parallel | While authoring is being completed, review is occurring simultaneously. This may be useful when time efficiency is required as processes can occur in parallel. It may also be useful where you do not have dedicated team members who can only spend shorter periods of time working on map development. It may be more difficult to maintain consistency, so clear, updated documentation and communication on mapping rules between team members is important. |
|
Hybrid | Mix of series and parallel workflows can be used. This can be a combination of completing authoring prior to review, and having some tasks open and close as resources such as specialised reviewers become available. A hybrid approach would require close management by the map owner to ensure all work is completed. This may be useful when you have a varying team with different resourcing availabilities. It may be more difficult to maintain consistency, so clear, updated documentation and communication on mapping rules between team members is important. |
Note: there is currently no notification system available to notify users that work has been done or comments have been left. Manual monitoring needs to be done to keep track of workflow by users within a project.
