Sorry for the delayed response to this one - been away from my computer 
for a couple of days...

Amongst the other replies to this thread, the only true workflow tool 
mentioned was Polarion.  The others are issue tracking systems.  That 
said, my development group uses Bugzilla (http://www.bugzilla.org) with 
a link from Subversion.  The work is tracked primarily by the use of 
flags that are managed by the owner of the bug/issue.  We can define as 
many different flags as we want, and send emails to certain individuals 
to act upon them.  Every code change requires an issue request (bug 
loaded into Bugzilla).  We use TortoiseSVN and the Bugtraq:properties to 
log the issue numbers and description of changes.  All files changed and 
this description is then written into Bugzilla.  When the issue manager 
feels that code is ready for the next step, they send up a flag to the 
next person in line.  That person then gets to act upon the issue and 
update it with the appropriate notes.

So - is this a true "Workflow" tool?  No.  But it is our way of managing 
the flow.  And it works pretty well for us.

Frank
