The Microsoft Gantt visual does not support more than 2 hierarchy levels. Other alternative for you could be:

1) Use a Matrix + Gantt workaround

Use a Matrix visual for:
- Department
- Workflow
- Sub-workflow
Use conditional formatting or bars (via measures) to simulate timelines

2) Use a custom Gantt visual (recommended if hierarchy is critical)

Some custom visuals support deeper hierarchies, for example:

xViz Gantt
MAQ Gantt
Other AppSource Gantt visuals
