Workflow is an implementation of process. Process is a template defining structure, rules, objects and their relations in a business environment associated with certain business goal or case. Workflow is a concrete realization of process in given business context. In other words, process is a plan, while workflow is a sequence of business actions taken according to this plan. Process is an architectural project, while workflow is a building created on this architecture. Multiple buildings can be erected from the same architecture. Unlimited sequences of actions can run along the same plan.
