Thanks for your input! Indeed, a linear pipeline should be sufficient. What do you think of my idea of organizing this in two database tables? One table models a work flow. A work flow points to the currently active task in another table. Each task has information about its predecessor / successor. In principle like a doubly-linked list. This solution feels a bit brittle / hacked to me. Again, my reason is, I want to store all the work flows with this standard interface. Also, users can easily create new work flows with any number of steps. Maybe there is a better way?

In case you are interested: I wrote earlier that I am developing this for a landscape gardening company. Since the company grew quite a bit recently and more people are working in administration, it is necessary to organize the flow of jobs: Quickly see who is responsible, what is currently happening, which jobs are overdue. Also each job is touched by different people (something like acquisition -> execution -> accounting) and the framework should organize this as well. There are different work flows for example to execute work and to make a quotation. Until now this is organized using a combination of paper and memory which is not feasible anymore.
