Best Practices?

[Hal Fairless]

Workflow Folk,

        I have recently encounter a situation where a workflow was being 
started directly, and although the required information had been added to 
the database, the Commit process had not completed and when the w/f tried 
to start, the necessary object(s) had not be instantiated.  We changed the 
process to initiate an 'event' and let the w/f processes take care of 
starting it and everything is now working as expected.  My QUESTIONS to 
you all are: 

        From a best practice's perspective, what are your thoughts on 
starting workflows directly??? 
        When is it appropriate??? 
        Have others experienced similar situations and specific 
solutions???? 

Regards and Thanks,
