Tip #22: Parallel Transitions in Orchestly



Do your team(s) perform multiple business operations simultaneously in order to reach the next stage of the business process?
 
Are you puzzled on how to take up the parallel activities while you design your process workflows?
 
We received multiple queries on 'Parallel Transitions'. Few of them are highlighted below.

 

  • "Is it possible to handle parallel processes in Orchestly? We have three teams working simultaneously to reach the next stage of the blueprint. How can we set it up?"
  • "We require a feature control multiple activities in parallel. One instance should have multiple transitions at a certain moment."
  • "Is it possible to add parallel business activities while we also control the sequences of actions happening during the activity?"

 

We're glad to be receiving queries, and YES!  It's possible to do all of it in Orchestly.
