+## Process Types
 
-- **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. A manager language model (`manager_llm`) or a custom manager agent (`manager_agent`) must be specified in the crew to enable the hierarchical process, facilitating the creation and management of tasks by the manager.
-- **Consensual Process (Planned)**: Aiming for collaborative decision-making among agents on task execution, this process type introduces a democratic approach to task management within CrewAI. It is planned for future development and is not currently implemented in the codebase.
+CrewAI supports two process types that determine how tasks are assigned to agents:
+
+- **Static/Assigned Process** (formerly "Sequential"): In this process, each task must be pre-assigned to a specific agent. While the name "Sequential" was previously used, it's important to note that tasks are always executed in the order they are defined, regardless of the process type chosen. The key characteristic of this process is that it requires explicit agent assignments for each task.
+
+- **Dynamic/Unassigned Process** (formerly "Hierarchical"): In this process, you do not have to assign agents to tasks explicitly. Instead, the crew will assess available agents and automatically select the most suitable one for each task based on their roles and expertise. This requires specifying either a manager language model (`manager_llm`) or a custom manager agent (`manager_agent`) to handle the agent selection and task delegation.

+### Process Type Comparison
+
+| Aspect | Static/Assigned Process | Dynamic/Unassigned Process |
+|--------|------------------------|---------------------------|
+| Agent Assignment | Pre-assigned by developer | Automatic based on agent capabilities |
+| Task Order | Sequential (defined order) | Sequential (defined order) |
+| Manager Required | No | Yes (manager_llm or manager_agent) |
+| Use Case | Fixed workflows with known agent assignments | Dynamic workflows needing flexible assignment |
+| Configuration | Simpler setup, explicit control | Requires manager configuration |
+| Task-Agent Mapping | One-to-one, defined at creation | Determined during execution |

-## Sequential Process
+## Static/Assigned 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.
+This process type requires explicit agent assignments for each task. Tasks are executed in their defined order, with the output of one task serving as context for the next. This approach provides direct control over which agent handles each specific task.
 
 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
+## Dynamic/Unassigned Process
 
-Emulates a corporate hierarchy, CrewAI allows specifying a custom manager agent or automatically creates one, requiring the specification of a manager language model (`manager_llm`). 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.
+This process type enables automatic agent selection through a manager component. You must specify either a custom manager agent or a manager language model (`manager_llm`). The manager oversees task execution by:
+- Analyzing task requirements
+- Selecting the most suitable agent based on roles and expertise
+- Delegating tasks automatically
+- Reviewing outputs and assessing task completion
 
-## Process Class: Detailed Overview
+## Choosing the Right Process
 
-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.
+When deciding between Static/Assigned and Dynamic/Unassigned processes, consider these technical factors:
+
+### Static/Assigned Process
+Consider this process when:
+- Your workflow has predefined task-agent mappings
+- You need deterministic agent assignments for auditing or compliance
+- You want to minimize runtime overhead (no manager required)
+- You have specific agents optimized for particular tasks
+- You need fine-grained control over task execution
+
+### Dynamic/Unassigned Process
+Consider this process when:
+- Your agent pool has overlapping capabilities
+- Task requirements are determined at runtime
+- You need failover capabilities between agents
+- You have a manager (LLM or agent) to handle assignment logic
+- You want to scale agent pools without modifying task definitions
+
+### Technical Considerations
+- **Performance**: Static/Assigned processes have lower overhead as they skip the agent selection phase
+- **Scalability**: Dynamic/Unassigned processes better handle changes in agent availability
+- **Maintenance**: Static assignments require updating task definitions when agent roles change
+- **Error Handling**: Dynamic processes can potentially reassign tasks on agent failures
+
+## Technical Implementation Details
+
+### Process Class
+The `Process` class is implemented as an enumeration (`Enum`), ensuring type safety and restricting process values to the defined types:
+```python
+class Process(Enum):
+    sequential = "sequential"     # Static/Assigned process
+    hierarchical = "hierarchical" # Dynamic/Unassigned process
+```
+
+### Default Configuration
+- The default process type is `Process.sequential` (Static/Assigned)
+- When using `Process.hierarchical`, a manager (either `manager_llm` or `manager_agent`) must be provided
+
+### Version Compatibility
+- Since v1.0.0: Original process types (`sequential`, `hierarchical`)
+- Current version maintains the same enum values for backward compatibility
+- Future versions will continue supporting these values while using new terminology in documentation
+
+### Error Handling
+Common error scenarios and their solutions:
+```python
+# Error: Missing manager in Dynamic/Unassigned process
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[agent1, agent2],
+    tasks=[task1, task2],
+    process=Process.hierarchical
+    # Error: ValueError: Manager (manager_llm or manager_agent) is required for hierarchical process
+)
+
+# Error: Missing agent assignment in Static/Assigned process
+task = Task(description="Task without agent")  # Missing agent assignment
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[agent1, agent2],
+    tasks=[task],
+    process=Process.sequential
+    # Error: ValueError: Agent assignment required for all tasks in sequential process
+)
+```
 
 ## Conclusion
 
 The structured collaboration facilitated by processes within CrewAI is crucial for enabling systematic teamwork among agents.

-### Task Execution Flow
-
-Tasks can be executed in two ways:
-- **Sequential**: Tasks are executed in the order they are defined
-- **Hierarchical**: Tasks are assigned to agents based on their roles and expertise
-
-The execution flow is defined when creating the crew:
-```python Code
-crew = Crew(
-    agents=[agent1, agent2],
-    tasks=[task1, task2],
-    process=Process.sequential  # or Process.hierarchical
-)
-```
+### Task Execution
+Tasks are always executed in the order they are defined. For information about how tasks are assigned to agents and the different process types available (Static/Assigned vs Dynamic/Unassigned), please refer to the [Processes](/concepts/processes) section.
