Using Skip to Stage in Nintex Workflow for Project Server

The Skip to Stage capability of Project Server allows an administrator to skip a workflow to a particular stage, usually as a result of modifying the existing workflow, or swapping to a different workflow and needing to skip over some of the business logic or steps. The steps below are from Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2010, but also apply to Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2013.Sam Chung wrote an excellent blog post on this over at the Project Programmability blog back in February 2010, and the same concepts apply to Nintex.
