What needs to be described for developing a workflow for request approval (Power Flow)?

To develop a workflow for request approval (Power Flow), the following key elements need to be described:

• Participants: who is involved in the approval process (roles, responsible persons).
• Approval stages: the sequence of steps the request goes through.
• Transition conditions: under what conditions the request moves to the next stage or is sent back for revision.
• Action types: approval, rejection, request for additional information.
• Timeframes: deadlines for each stage.
• Notifications and alerts: who and when receives notifications about the request status.
• Exception handling: what happens in case of deadline violations or errors.

Example of a stage description:

Stage 1: Request review
- Responsible: manager
- Actions: verify data accuracy
- Transition: if data is correct — proceed to stage 2; if not — send back for revision
- Duration: 2 working days

Such a description will help formalize the process and implement it in the Power Flow system.
