Standardizing corporate processes can be achieved through a simple methodology that covers 90% of internal tasks without complex BPMN systems. The approach relies on a three-tier hierarchy consisting of routes, steps, and tasks, which function as an isolated microservice.
A route is a group of steps assigned to users or roles. Steps activate sequentially, and a route completes only after all its steps are finished. Logic for object validation should remain within the object's lifecycle, while the route acts as an independent executor that returns success or rejection results.
Each element—route, step, and task—maintains a linear lifecycle. Key properties include a target JSON snapshot for displaying object data directly in task lists, deadlines, and result statuses. This structure prevents the need for users to navigate multiple tabs, centralizing all actions on a single dashboard.
The methodology supports advanced features like role-based task assignment, where a task becomes personal once claimed. Rejection has the highest priority, while ignoring a task is treated as a low-priority action. Successful completion of a step triggers the next one automatically.
For implementation, the author uses Java within the JMatrixPlatform. Because this approach can lead to a rapid increase in task volume, the author recommends implementing database archiving or partitioning for completed records to maintain system performance.
