Sequential processing executes actions or tasks one after another in a specified order. In agent systems, each task can use the result of the preceding task before the next agent acts. section 4.4 section 11.6
A practical sequential workflow typically follows these steps:
- Define a multistep goal and divide it into ordered tasks. section 11.6
- Assign each task to an agent with a specific role and expected output. section 4.5
- Run the tasks in order, optionally reviewing or correcting later steps with feedback. section 4.5 section 11.6
A coding crew
A CrewAI crew can assign a senior engineer to write a Python game, a QA engineer to inspect syntax, logic, imports, declarations, brackets, and security, and a chief QA engineer to evaluate the result. Setting process=Process.sequential and calling crew.kickoff() runs these tasks in order. A snake game provides a concrete test case. section 4.5

Shows how agents and their associated tasks connect in a sequential CrewAI system. section 4.4
