# Choosing Right Team Mode

> Learn how to select the appropriate team mode for your workflow

## What is The Selection Criteria?

Choose your team mode based on your workflow requirements:

* **Sequential**: For linear workflows where tasks flow from one agent to the next
* **Coordinate**: For complex projects requiring strategic planning and delegation
* **Route**: For routing queries to the best specialist agent

## Use Case for Sequential Mode

Use sequential mode when:

* You have a clear sequence of steps
* Each step needs a different skill
* Tasks build on previous results
* You want simple, automatic collaboration

**Example:** Research → Write → Edit → Publish

## Use Case for Coordinate Mode

Use coordinate mode when:

* Tasks are complex and interconnected
* You need strategic planning
* The workflow isn't linear
* You want a leader making decisions

**Example:** Building a complete software project with architecture, development, testing, and deployment

## Use Case for Route Mode

Use route mode when:

* You have specialized experts
* Each request goes to ONE expert
* You need fast routing decisions
* No multi-step collaboration needed

**Example:** Customer support routing (billing → billing expert, technical → tech support)
