TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You might want to take a look resources such as the Project Management Institute (http://www.pmi.org/info/default.asp), and current authorities on Six Sigma processes (too numerous to list). I'm not an expert, but many, many people here live and die by Six Sigma, which references quite a bit in the way of process and workflows on the way to quality.

I'm referring to the automation of business processes, usually including
both automated and conditional activities. Processes, transitions,
events... that sort of thing.
