Process Street

Judgement

What it is

Complete system

What it does

Turns procedures into checklists that run again and again, with stop tasks that hold a run until required steps are done, conditional steps, due dates and approvals.

Adopt it when

Your recurring work is a procedure to follow step by step, such as onboarding or audits, more than a job handed between people.

Watch out

There is no stage board, so handoff-heavy work is harder to see at a glance.
