he Workflow Review Checklist helps you review a repeated process before it becomes a larger source of friction. It guides you through signs that a workflow may be unclear, outdated, duplicated, too slow, too dependent on one person, or no longer needed.
Use this tool when a routine used to work but now creates delays, mistakes, confusion, missed steps, customer follow-up issues, invoicing problems, scheduling issues, or unnecessary owner involvement.
The checklist helps you decide whether a workflow should be simplified, clarified, documented, delegated, automated, or removed. It can be applied to repeated work such as quote requests, client onboarding, job scheduling, order tracking, customer follow-up, invoicing, opening and closing routines, internal approvals, or service delivery steps.
It is suitable for corporations and sole proprietors, including tradespersons, consultants, professionals, and small shops or studios that want clearer and more repeatable ways of working.
