As Mike has already written, there is no special workflow. Everyone has their preferences and works differently.
For example, I first sketch the glyphs and then trace them in vector. I prefer to using the "FontLab Studio" for years to create a font from it. It also has a tracer to create vector paths from bitmap.
Quite useful for some artistic glyphs.
Like Mike, I set kerning pairs and then finalize the font. A special area is the OpenType future for ligatures and special characters.
When all this is done, the font is first tested and then written as TTF/OT and then is ready to use.
However, I have to admit that I created my last font about 7 years ago. I haven't bothered since.
