After several weeks of hard work, the upcoming beta release of WorkflowLab is just around the corner. Throughout this week, I’ll be previewing a number of the new features we have added into WorkflowLab for this release, a majority of which are from people in the community that submitted ideas on the Adobe Labs forums, or through blogs and Twitter.
The community response to WorkflowLab has been very positive, and a lot of people are very curious with what WorkflowLab has the potential to be. WorkflowLab was originally launched at Adobe MAX as an alpha release with a single intention: To help the community of designers, developers and their management teams learn about project best practices and recommended workflows.
With WorkflowLab, you can learn about new project types, and find out how to use Adobe software as efficiently as possible to increase the success of your project. WorkflowLab starts with an interactive workflow chart that you can adjust and annotate to document your project starting off with a number of pre-built starting points to give you a head start. You can then use WorkflowLab to build plan out your project and share that with your team or others and get their feedback on your project’s adoption of best practices.
The beta release adds several new features to make it easier to create more sophisticated workflows, and includes several usability improvements. I’m really excited to show you what we have been able to build in such a short time, so stay tuned!
The current release of WorkflowLab is available at Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/workflowlab) and uses Adobe AIR.

Looking awesome. I know the pains of working with and creating task based applications, and it looks like you have solved a lot of the big problems already. I did the gantt for projectmanager.com and the biggest problem we now face is people still treat it like excell with hundreds of tasks, and this is where performance suffers.
