Which type of application tracks processes from initiation to completion?

  1. API

  2. NTP

  3. Workflow

  4. Orchestration

The correct answer is: Workflow

The correct answer is Workflow because a workflow application is specifically designed to manage and track processes from initiation to completion. Workflows define the sequence of tasks, responsibilities, and actions involved in a process. They help streamline operations by providing a clear structure that ensures each step is followed in the correct order, facilitating communication and coordination among different stakeholders. In contrast, an API (Application Programming Interface) provides a set of tools for building software applications and enabling them to communicate with each other, but it does not inherently track processes. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used for synchronizing clocks across networked devices and is not related to process tracking. Orchestration refers to automating and coordinating a range of services and tools to achieve a complex task efficiently, which can involve workflows but does not specifically track individual processes from start to finish.
