What can be used to manage parallel workflows in change requests effectively?

Utilizing a rule-based workflow is an effective approach for managing parallel workflows in change requests. This method allows organizations to define specific rules that dictate the workflow paths based on the criteria or attributes of the data being processed. By leveraging these rules, it's possible to direct change requests down different paths simultaneously, enabling multiple workflows to occur in parallel without conflicts.

This approach increases efficiency and responsiveness, as it allows for more flexible handling of change requests based on real-time data conditions or requirements. It supports complex scenarios where certain actions need to be taken concurrently, thus optimizing the overall workflow process within SAP Master Data Governance.

Meanwhile, combining multiple workflows into one path or adhering strictly to sequential processing would limit the ability to exploit the potential efficiencies gained through parallelism. Neither of these alternatives would allow for the same level of dynamic response and resource allocation as a rule-based workflow, making it less favorable for managing parallel processes effectively.
