What is workflow
• A system to manage and monitor working processes
• Defining and tracking the flow of work between individuals and/or departments
• Network of activity to accomplish something
• The path and systems used in the linked flow of activities

Main aim of a systematic workflow
quality
consistency efficiency

Things that workflow is not (but will impact)
• Staff hiring/shortages
• Local politics
• Hardware and software buying and technical support
• Funder’s paperwork
• Contractors deadlines not met
• …

Some points to note
• Projects can have little to ‘show’ initially
• Tasks and goals need defining
• Tasks need working through
• Work will only ‘flow’ after time and fine-tuning
• 3yr project can take anything from 6 months 1yr to set up

Preparation period: user
• User requirements underpin everythingTech specs, capture, cataloguing, searching
• Define users

Preparation period: Project Goals
• Define long term goals early• Identify specific objectives within time frames• Derive subordinate objectives• Set realistic individual objectives
![Page 11: WORKFLOW. What is workflow A system to manage and monitor working processes Defining and tracking the flow of work between individuals and/or departments](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c0282a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Defining Deliverables and Benchmarks
• Be realistic
• Quality better than quantity
• Try and stick to decided benchmarks, but be prepared for slippage
• Try to avoid
![Page 12: WORKFLOW. What is workflow A system to manage and monitor working processes Defining and tracking the flow of work between individuals and/or departments](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c0282a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Developing Digital Rights Management
• Identify items
• Draw up licence/letter
• Contact rights holders (if possible)
• Wait for responses…
• Contact rights holders again…
• Keep diligence files, records of outcomes
• Start digitisation without rights?

Choosing a Metadata Schema
• What information do your users need
• Standards in your area
• Does the standard fit your needs
• Trial records
• Adapt the standard
• Build in controlled vocabs
• Draw up documentation and guidelines
![Page 14: WORKFLOW. What is workflow A system to manage and monitor working processes Defining and tracking the flow of work between individuals and/or departments](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c0282a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Content Management System / Database
• Based on the cataloguing schema• Off the shelf or build your own?• System analysis, developing the structure• Technical expertise required• Data entry ‘front end’• Testing phases• Technical notes, rational and
documentation

Capture period: materials
• Prepare materials
• Test equipment
• Test capture specifications
• Technical info gathering
• Trial phases
• Document all results

Capture period: cataloguing workflow
• Assess numbers
• Assess level of research
• User requirements, be realistic
![Page 20: WORKFLOW. What is workflow A system to manage and monitor working processes Defining and tracking the flow of work between individuals and/or departments](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c0282a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Establishing Progress Report Systems
•Have regular meetings i.e. monthy at least •Minute these•Have fall back plan•Assess risk
![Page 21: WORKFLOW. What is workflow A system to manage and monitor working processes Defining and tracking the flow of work between individuals and/or departments](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c0282a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Establishing QA Methodology
• QA against benchmarks• capture• cataloguing
![Page 22: WORKFLOW. What is workflow A system to manage and monitor working processes Defining and tracking the flow of work between individuals and/or departments](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c0282a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
