Grupos de procesos

Understand the basics

A group of processes can be useful for subdividing large participatory processes into sub-processes according to a criteria. It can also allow administrators to organize an instance with a lot of processes, to gather together the ones related to a specific type of process, or a specific scope, like participatory budgeting annual editions, mobility planning processes, etc.
