Enum Constant Details

PARALLEL

public static final TeamFormation PARALLEL

All members execute the task simultaneously. Results are gathered and aggregated. Best for: Independent analysis, voting, consensus.

SEQUENTIAL

public static final TeamFormation SEQUENTIAL

Members execute in sequence, passing context forward. Each member builds on the previous one's work. Best for: Pipeline processing, review chains.

HIERARCHICAL

public static final TeamFormation HIERARCHICAL

Lead coordinates and delegates to members. Lead synthesizes member contributions. Best for: Complex tasks requiring coordination.

ADAPTIVE

public static final TeamFormation ADAPTIVE

Formation adapts based on task complexity. Simple tasks → parallel, complex → hierarchical. Best for: Variable workloads.

DEBATE

public static final TeamFormation DEBATE

Members debate and discuss to reach consensus. Multiple rounds of discussion before conclusion. Best for: Decision making, analysis.

ROUND_ROBIN

public static final TeamFormation ROUND_ROBIN

Round-robin execution with handoff between members. Each member adds their perspective in turn. Best for: Iterative refinement.

Method Details

values

public static TeamFormation[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static TeamFormation valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns a description of this formation.

Returns:

description

requiresLead

public boolean requiresLead()

Checks if this formation requires a lead.

Returns:

true if lead required

isOrdered

public boolean isOrdered()

Checks if this formation processes in order.

Returns:

true if ordered
