This invention is related to a workflow system, and more particularly to a workflow system with a route where the route defines the sequence of workflow nodes, the process steps and assignment of users, to control the steps of a business process. The route designates a specific user to process the node (a private node) or designates that any user in a set of users can process the node (a shared node). The workflow system provides a user with a queue of active nodes that are to be processed by the user from which the user can select the node to process. The queue can include both private nodes and shared nodes. When a user selects a shared node to process, the node is removed from the queues of other user that share the shared node. The route can designate that the user that processes the first node in a sequence of shared nodes processes all the nodes in the sequence of shared nodes.
