## 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. 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
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.

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, 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`, `hierarchical`, and future `consensual`). This design choice guarantees that only valid processes are utilized within the CrewAI framework.
The `Process` class is implemented as an enumeration (`Enum`), ensuring type safety and restricting process values to the defined types (`sequential`, `hierarchical`). The consensual process is planned for future inclusion, emphasizing our commitment to continuous development and innovation.
## Planned Future Processes
- **Consensual Process**: This collaborative decision-making process among agents on task execution is under consideration but not currently implemented. This future enhancement aims to introduce a more democratic approach to task management within CrewAI.
## Additional Task Features
- **Asynchronous Execution**: Tasks can now be executed asynchronously, allowing for parallel processing and efficiency improvements. This feature is designed to enable tasks to be carried out concurrently, enhancing the overall productivity of the crew.
- **Human Input Review**: An optional feature that enables the review of task outputs by humans to ensure quality and accuracy before finalization. This additional step introduces a layer of oversight, providing an opportunity for human intervention and validation.
- **Output Customization**: Tasks support various output formats, including JSON (`output_json`), Pydantic models (`output_pydantic`), and file outputs (`output_file`), providing flexibility in how task results are captured and utilized. This allows for a wide range of output possibilities, catering to different needs and requirements.
## Conclusion
The structured collaboration facilitated by processes within CrewAI is crucial for enabling systematic teamwork among agents. Documentation will be regularly updated to reflect new processes and enhancements, ensuring users have access to the most current and comprehensive information.
