Agent Orchestration

A practical example

Example: an orchestration layer runs a lead-routing workflow nightly: it triggers an enrichment agent, waits for completion, routes records the agent flagged as low-confidence to a human queue, and only then updates CRM assignment rules.

What to evaluate before investing

• Ask how orchestration is defined: visual workflow builder, code, or declarative configuration, and who on your team can edit it.
• Verify human-in-the-loop support: can you insert approval gates at arbitrary steps, with timeouts and fallback owners?
• Check error handling: retries with backoff, dead-letter queues for failed runs, and alerting when a workflow stalls.

Limitations and tradeoffs

Orchestration capability is often demonstrated on simple linear flows; complex branching, conditional logic and long-running state are where implementations typically struggle.
