How to create a workflow app on Sharepoint

I'm looking to create a workflow app on Sharepoint. Basically at the top level there's a list of projects. When you click on a pro开发者_StackOverflowject, a list of states is displayed (dev/qa/staging/prod) etc...when a developer finishes their task, they will change the state to QA, and the QA team needs to get a notification.

Is this possible to accomplish in Sharepoint 2007 without any custom webparts? If not, what's the best way to approach this?

Thanks.

SharePoint 2007 supports creation of workflows out of the box MOSS 2007 adds more features on top of basic functionality provided and 2010 versions provide more inprovments.

I was able to do what I wanted to do using SharePoint Designer which is a free download.
