 ## Process Implementations
 
 - **Sequential**: Executes tasks sequentially, ensuring tasks are completed in an orderly progression.
-- **Hierarchical**: Organizes tasks in a managerial hierarchy, where tasks are delegated and executed based on a structured chain of command, the manager for delegation is automatically created by crewAI.
-- **Consensual (Planned)**: A future process type aiming for collaborative decision-making among agents on task execution, introducing a more democratic approach to task management within CrewAI.
+- **Hierarchical**: Organizes tasks in a managerial hierarchy, where tasks are delegated and executed based on a structured chain of command. Note: A manager language model (`manager_llm`) must be specified in the crew to enable the hierarchical process, allowing for the creation and management of tasks by the manager.
+- **Consensual Process (Planned)**: Currently under consideration for future development, this process type aims for collaborative decision-making among agents on task execution, introducing a more democratic approach to task management within CrewAI. As of now, it is not implemented in the codebase.
 
 ## The Role of Processes in Teamwork
 Processes enable individual agents to operate as a cohesive unit, streamlining their efforts to achieve common objectives with efficiency and coherence.
 
 ## Assigning Processes to a Crew
-Specify the process type upon crew creation to set the execution strategy:
+To assign a process to a crew, specify the process type upon crew creation to set the execution strategy. Note: For a hierarchical process, ensure to define `manager_llm` for the manager agent.

 # Example: Creating a crew with a sequential process
-crew = Crew(agents=my_agents, tasks=my_tasks, process=Process.sequential)

 ## Sequential Process
 This method mirrors dynamic team workflows, progressing through tasks in a thoughtful and systematic manner. Task execution follows the predefined order in the task list, with the output of one task serving as context for the next.

 To customize task context, utilize the `context` parameter in the `Task` class to specify outputs that should be used as context for subsequent tasks.
 
 ## Hierarchical Process
-Emulates a corporate hierarchy. A "manager" agent is automatically created so it oversees task execution, including planning, delegation, and validation. Tasks are not pre-assigned; the manager allocates tasks to agents, reviews outputs, and assesses task completion.
+Emulates a corporate hierarchy, crewAI creates a manager automatically for you, requiring the specification of a manager language model (`manager_llm`) for the manager agent. This agent oversees task execution, including planning, delegation, and validation. Tasks are not pre-assigned; the manager allocates tasks to agents based on their capabilities, reviews outputs, and assesses task completion.
 
 ## Process Class: Detailed Overview
-The `Process` class is implemented as an enumeration (`Enum`), ensuring type safety and restricting process values to the defined types (`sequential` and `hierarchical`). This design choice guarantees that only valid processes are utilized within the CrewAI framework.

 ## Conclusion
-The structured collaboration facilitated by processes within CrewAI is crucial for enabling systematic teamwork among agents. Documentation will be updated to reflect new processes and enhancements, ensuring users have access to the most current and comprehensive information.
