Resources & Next Steps
Continue your orchestration journey with frameworks, documentation, and the next course in the curriculum
🎉 Congratulations! You've completed Task Decomposition and Orchestration. You now understand how to break complex problems into manageable tasks and coordinate multiple agents to solve them efficiently.
Orchestration Frameworks
CrewAI
Multi-agent orchestration framework with role-based agents, task delegation, and sequential/parallel execution patterns.
AutoGen
Conversational AI framework from Microsoft Research enabling multi-agent collaboration with human-in-the-loop capabilities.
LangGraph
Workflow orchestration built on LangChain for creating stateful, cyclic agent workflows with graph-based execution.
Documentation & Learning Resources
Python asyncio Official Docs
Comprehensive guide to asynchronous programming in Python, covering event loops, tasks, and concurrent execution.
Concurrent Programming Patterns
O'Reilly book covering threading, multiprocessing, and async patterns for Python applications.
Distributed Systems Patterns
Martin Fowler's collection of design patterns for building reliable distributed systems.

Capstone Project Ideas
Economics: Multi-Source Literature Review
System that coordinates:
- Research agent: Query arXiv, SSRN, Google Scholar
- Extraction agent: Parse PDFs, extract citations
- Analysis agent: Summarize findings, identify themes
- Synthesis agent: Generate literature review document
Orchestration challenge: Parallel searches with sequential analysis pipeline.
Software: Automated CI/CD Pipeline
System that orchestrates:
- Test agent: Run unit tests, integration tests
- Build agent: Compile, package, containerize
- Security agent: Scan dependencies, check vulnerabilities
- Deploy agent: Push to staging, run smoke tests
Orchestration challenge: Conditional execution with rollback capabilities.
Business: Competitive Intelligence
System that coordinates:
- Monitoring agent: Track competitor websites, pricing
- Social agent: Analyze competitor social media
- News agent: Aggregate industry news mentions
- Report agent: Generate daily competitive briefing
Orchestration challenge: Real-time monitoring with scheduled aggregation.
🎯 Choose Your Own Adventure
These capstone projects combine all T4.2 concepts:
- Task decomposition (breaking problems into agent roles)
- Parallel execution (independent agents working simultaneously)
- Sequential coordination (pipeline stages with dependencies)
- Error handling (graceful failures and retries)
Build something that solves a real problem in your domain!
What You've Mastered
By completing this course, you now understand:
- Task Decomposition - Breaking complex problems into agent-sized tasks
- Execution Patterns - Sequential pipelines vs. parallel fan-out
- Coordination - Managing dependencies and data flow between agents
- Error Handling - Graceful failures and retry strategies
- Performance - Measuring and optimizing orchestration efficiency
Next Steps
Immediate actions:
- Build a capstone project using the patterns from this course
- Join the community and share your orchestration challenges
- Proceed to T4.3 for shared state and coordination
- Experiment with frameworks like CrewAI or LangGraph
Long-term learning path:
- T4.3: Shared State and Coordination
- T5.1: FastAPI for Agent Endpoints
- T5.2: Vector Stores for Knowledge Retrieval
- T6.1: Production Deployment Patterns
🚀 You're Ready for Production
With task decomposition, orchestration, and the upcoming shared state course, you'll have the foundation to build production-grade multi-agent systems.
Keep building. Keep learning. Keep automating.
