English terms like 'workflow' are frequently used even in Portuguese-language contexts, especially among younger professionals and in startups. In more traditional or government institutions, the fully Portuguese translation 'gestão de fluxo de trabalho' is preferred. The concept reflects modern organizational practices adopted from Anglo-American business methodologies.
