• A Workflow System Administrator is responsible for day-to-day operations of a production IBM Case Foundation workflow application.
• A Workflow System Administrator is typically required to help workflow participants to do the following tasks:
  • Locate work and complete workflows.
  • Respond to management decisions that require changes to work items.
  • Gather information about workflow activity to help management make business decisions.
• During the production phase, the Workflow System Administrator manages operation of the workflow application and communicates with users and managers.
