How are stages executed in Flow Orchestration?

In Flow Orchestration, stages are executed in sequential order. This means that each stage must be completed before the next one can begin, creating a structured and predictable workflow. This sequential execution is essential for maintaining the integrity of processes that rely on the completion of prior steps to gather necessary data or trigger specific actions.

When stages are arranged to execute sequentially, it allows for a clear understanding of the workflow's progression. Each stage can depend on the output of the previous one, ensuring that all necessary conditions are met before proceeding. This structured approach reduces the risk of errors and confusion that might arise from trying to execute multiple stages at once or in a random order.

In contrast, options suggesting stages execute simultaneously or randomly would undermine the logic and necessity of having a defined process. Additionally, the notion of stages executing automatically without user input does not accurately reflect the necessary involvement often required to guide the process through its stages, especially when path decisions need to be made. Thus, sequential execution aligns with the intention of Flow Orchestration to maintain clarity and order in the workflow.
