What are the three basic components of Workflow?

• A. Approvals, Notifications and Tasks
• B. Approvals, Roles and Tasks
• C. Approvals, Notifications and Policies
• D. Notifications, Tasks and Approval Flows

Answer: (A)

In workflows, three core activities drive the process: approvals, tasks, and notifications. Approvals gather consent from the right people or groups before the workflow can move forward, ensuring the necessary sign-off. Tasks represent the actual work to be done, assigned to individuals and tracked as the workflow progresses. Notifications automatically alert stakeholders about status changes or required actions, keeping everyone informed. These three elements together cover who must sign off, who does the work, and who needs to be aware of what's happening, which is why they form the standard trio for building workflows. Other options mix in roles or policies—things that govern access or rules themselves—not actions you directly place in a workflow—so they don’t fit as the basic workflow components.
