Once tasks are decomposed and dependencies mapped, you must decide execution order. Different strategies optimize for different goals: minimize time, use resources efficiently, or prioritize critical tasks first.
Execution Strategies
📊
Topological Sort
Respect all dependencies, any valid ordering works
Best for: Ensuring correctness, dependency satisfaction
⚡
Critical Path Method
Identify and prioritize the longest dependency chain
Best for: Minimizing total completion time
🎯
Priority-Based
Assign priorities, execute high-priority tasks first
Best for: User-facing features, business value optimization
🔄
Dynamic Reordering
Adjust order based on execution results and changing conditions
Best for: Unpredictable environments, adaptive agents
Interactive: Traversal Algorithms
See how different graph traversal algorithms produce different execution orders
Execution Order:
📊 DFS: Goes deep into one branch before exploring others. Good for resource-constrained environments.
Execution Optimization Tips
🚀 Maximize Parallelism
Execute independent tasks concurrently to reduce wall-clock time
⏱️ Consider Task Duration
Long tasks on critical path? Start them early or optimize them first
💾 Resource Awareness
Don't start 100 parallel tasks if you only have 4 CPU cores—batch them
🔄 Early Failure Detection
Start risky/uncertain tasks early so you can replan if they fail
📊 Monitor and Adapt
Track execution metrics—if a task takes longer than expected, adjust remaining order
