An embodiment of the invention, directed to a method, is associated with a workflow process comprising one or more discrete tasks. The method includes the step identifying a specified one of the tasks that may be performed by crowdsourcing. The method further includes defining a specified metric, which comprises a measure of benefit provided by using crowdsourcing to perform the specified task, or comprises a cost of using crowdsourcing to perform the specified task, selectively. The method further includes determining whether at least a given criterion has been met, wherein the given criterion is related to the specified metric. The specified task is then performed using crowdsourcing, only after determining that the given criterion has been met. |
