SharePoint 2010 gives you lot of OOTB (Out of the Box) workflows to automate the business flows. The foremost and most popular workflow is Approval Workflow. One of the basic requirement for any organisation is approval. You can go for approval workflow for routing a document. Approval workflow involves more than one participants. For instance, In a organisation, if a employee wants to apply for leave, it has to be approved by Manager. We can use Default approval workflow in this scenario. There are other cases such as document approvals,collect signatures, collect feedback, manage dispositions , manage publishing of assets, which requires the usage of approval workflow.

All the Participants in the Approval Workflow works through the list named Task List to approve or reject the changes.
