What is SpiffWorkflow?

SpiffWorkflow allows your python application to process BPMN diagrams (think of them as very powerful flow charts, See Overview.) to accomplish what would otherwise require writing a lot of complex business logic in your code. You can use these diagrams to accomplish a number of tasks, such as:

• Creating a questionnaire with multiple complex paths
• Implement an approval process that requires input from multiple users
• Allow non-programmers to modify the flow and behavior of your application.
