Unanswered Sharepoint Approval workflow - completion Condition Question

    I have a situation here for approval workflow:

    Stage one of the approval: Approve by Manager     

    Stage Two of the approval:         

          Approve by only ONE of the three approvers

          These approvers can then add additional approvers as needed,

          all additional approvers must approve.

          We won’t know the count for additional approvers, could be 0 – 3.

    How do I set the workflow completion condition in SharePoint Designer?  Is it even possible?

    Are you looking to build a custom workflow to accomplish this, or are you trying to use the SharePoint OOTB approval workflow with a bit of tweaking?  Using a state machine, you should be able to accomplish the conditional approvers (since you have an upper limit) - this can be accomplished in Visual Studio, or if you have Nintex Workflow 2010, can be done very easily in the SharePoint GUI.
