Parallel execution

Hi,
Suppose there is an organization with following structure:
* ManagerX & ManagerY report to CEO.
* EmployeeX1 & EmployeeX2 report to ManagerX.
* EmployeeY1 & EmployeeY2 report to ManagerY.

I want to implement following scenario using Activiti.
* STEP1 :
   With just one click, CEO will directly ask all the employees to submit a report  i.e., each employee will have a task to do.
*  STEP2 :
   Each employee will individually prepare their report & submit it to their respective manager (not CEO)
   As soon as an employee submits a report, Manager should receive a task without waiting for others to complete
*  STEP3 :
   Manager will check his subordinate's report & submit it to CEO.
   Here also, as soon as a manager submits a report, CEO should receive a task without waiting for others to complete.

Kindly let me know if I can achieve that using Activiti.
Thank you very much for your time.

Is my scenario a valid Workflow/BPM (the scenario I described above)?
(In my scenario, managers are not part of employee group. They are in separate group. They just authorize their subordinate's report & forward to CEO)

Basically, I want every task that was instantiated in STEP1 to continue until the end without waiting for others to complete.

Hi Chakra,

Yes, you could achieve this using a multi instance sub process with a couple of user tasks.
