When can one or more subprocesses run simultaneously in the same stage of a case workflow?

One or more subprocesses can run simultaneously in the same stage of a case workflow when the workflow is complex. In a complex workflow, it often becomes necessary to execute multiple subprocesses concurrently to enhance efficiency and address different dimensions of a case at the same time. This allows for parallel processing of tasks, which can significantly reduce the overall time required to resolve a case.

In scenarios where the workflow is characterized as complex, it implies that the case may involve multiple tasks that can be handled independently without depending on the completion of other tasks in the same stage. This independence of subprocesses is essential for achieving the workflow's goals more efficiently, particularly when dealing with multifaceted cases requiring contributions from various stakeholders or systems.

While simpler workflows might involve linear tasks that do not require subprocesses to run simultaneously, the complexity of a workflow introduces opportunities for parallel execution, thereby optimizing the processing time and resource utilization.
