-`poetry install`
+Development Workflow
+====================
 
-To install without developer dependencies:
+1. Make changes
+---------------
+To work on a fix or feature, switch to the feature branch in the BEE repo (see :ref:`contribute`).
 
-`poetry install --no-dev`
+2. Create a Virtual Environment and Install Dependencies
+---------------------------------------------------------
 
-This will also generate the package metadata in `beeflow.egg-info` (not tracked) and install
-the package to your local system as a Python Egg.
+After making your changes create a Python 3.x virtual environment and install our project
+dependencies (including developer dependencies):
 
+``poetry install``
+
+3. Activate the Virtual Environment

-Activate the Virtual Environment

 To activate the virtual environment ('exit' or EOF to deactivate):

-Run a Command in the Virtual Environment
------------------------------------------------------
-To run a command without activating the virtual environment:
+``beeflow core start``
+
+5. Test
+---------
+
+Test your new feature/fixes
+
+6. Commit Changes
+-----------------
 
-`poetry run COMMAND [arguments]`
+If you're done making changes, follow the git workflow specified in :ref:`contribute`.
 
+7. Continue Development
+-----------------------
+
+If you want to continue making changes, add them and then pause any running workflows:
+
+``beeflow pause $ID``
+
+Stop the bee components:
+
+``beeflow core stop``
+
+Now you can repeat steps 2 to 5.
