Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) has a complicated process that involves several departments.

In Flow Orchestration, stages should be used to organize a complicated process by grouping steps based on hand-offs or key branches of the process:

Stages in Flow Orchestration:

Stages help structure the overall process by grouping related steps. Each stage can represent a major phase in the process, which might involve a transition of responsibility or a significant decision point.

Grouping by Hand-offs:

Organizing steps by hand-offs ensures that when responsibility shifts from one department to another, the transition is clear and manageable. This approach aligns with the natural flow of work across departments.

Key Branches:

Key branches in the process often represent decision points or significant changes in the workflow. Grouping steps that belong to these branches within specific stages helps in managing and tracking progress more effectively.
