P2 · CHAPTER 11 · WORKFLOW TRANSLATION
Workflow translation for “Building With Agents”
Apply “Building With Agents” to a real workflow by naming the trigger, owner, evidence, decision, control and failure path. A useful translation changes operating detail, not vocabulary.
WORKBOOK SEQUENCE
- 01
Choose one repeated task related to this thesis: The unit of work is no longer the task. It is the delegated, supervised, self-correcting agent.
- 02
Use the chapter signals—From Prompting To Delegation; The Dynamo Lesson; The New Workflow; Supervision Becomes The Craft; Composing Work; Patterns That Work Today; Shipping With Agents; The Human Bottleneck Moves; Failure Modes And Guardrails; The New Operating Literacy; Why This Means You Are Early—to identify where the current workflow loses time, quality or learning.
- 03
Define the trigger, input, AI-assisted step, human decision, measurable output and stop condition.
- 04
Run the workflow once with a real case; record the failure before expanding scope.
EXPECTED OUTPUT
Leave with a decision artifact.
A bounded workflow card with one owner, one metric, one review gate and one documented failure response.
