Distinguish Deterministic and Collaborative Workflow Patterns¶

Master the two workflow patterns on the left side of the autonomy spectrum. You'll analyze the characteristics that distinguish deterministic workflows (fixed rules, predictable output, no human judgment during execution) from collaborative workflows (iterative, judgment-dependent, human-steered). Use the Pattern Selection Framework to match your deconstructed workflows to the right pattern before you build.

Objectives¶

• Distinguish deterministic and collaborative workflow patterns by their characteristics: predictability, human involvement, iteration needs, and output consistency
• Classify your own deconstructed workflows as deterministic or collaborative based on whether they require human judgment during execution
• Select the appropriate workflow pattern for a given use case using the Pattern Selection Framework
