Workflow may be seen as any abstraction of real work. For control purposes, workflow may be a view of real work in a chosen aspect,[2] thus serving as a virtual representation of actual work. The flow being described may refer to a document or product that is being transferred from one step to another.
Workflows may be viewed as one primitive building block to be combined with other parts of an organisation's structure such as information silos, teams, projects, policies and hierarchies.
Wikipedia isn't a definitive source, but it seems to me that scripts easily fit the description above.
Researchers, experimenters, students, hobbyists all use scripts effectively.

I find that scripts are one the
most reusable solutions to problems precisely
because they are portable among platforms.
Long scripts, badly written, without comments are hard to maintain. So might be spaghetti diagrams, text descriptions, and the highest of high abstract languages.
I agree with very little of what you wrote.

Hi there,
I am wondering if I could add start/stop ksh scripts provided by 3rd party to cluster... I read that script must be ocf/lsb compliant, however, in AIX I can just set up two separate scripts for starting and stopping application. Can similar be done under RH Linux cluster?

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and
stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start
command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
If the init script file does not exist, the script tries to use legacy actions. If there is no suitable legacy action found and COMMAND is
one of actions specified in LSB Core Specification, input is redirected to the systemctl. Otherwise the command fails with return code 2.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
