Using task flow not only for dev purposes

Hi, I'd like to understand better the use of a task flow not only for dev purposes. It isn't an "operational" item, it represents a visual aid to organize the data flow, from the sources to the pre...

Hi pmscorca  I just want to quickly give my two cents on this as I wonder somehow the same as you at some point, in a nutshell from v-saisrao-msft reply " is a visual feature designed for documenting and understanding workspace structure" but let me expand a bit on "Could it be useful also for the end-users beyond development (e.g. non-prod environment like uat or prod)?" with a couple of ideas: 

 

  • Task Flows are very useful in UAT/PROD to re‑explain the solution and help testers/business SMEs navigate the workspace, It provides a visual explanation of lineage and responsibilities without needing to open every artifact; lpful for governance, audits, and support teams. 
  • Standardize acceptance checklists: Pair tasks with descriptions, owners, and links to test cases or runbooks in task notes — the Task Flow becomes the UAT/PROD “index”

The downside is that task flows are not a live, auto‑generated lineage graphs; It’s curated by you assign items to tasks and maintain the diagram, so, it could "labor intensive" and I would recommend you only consider these options if the benefits/value outwages the effort. 

 

If you find this info. useful, a thumbs-up would be nice ... best of lucks mate!
