Level 8: Parallel Orchestrator — Run Multiple Tasks in Parallel

Level 8 coordinates multiple threads, worktrees, cloud tasks, or subagents. Effective parallelism depends on task separation and integration design, not just speed.

Good Parallel Boundaries

• Implementation and independent documentation updates
• Tests for separate modules
• Impact analysis that does not edit files

Avoid assigning the same file to multiple tasks at once.

Completion Standard

• Each task has explicit file ownership
• Dependencies and integration order are defined
• Conflict ownership is assigned
• Full verification runs after integration

Next Level

To make parallel work recurring or event-driven, continue to Level 9: Workflow Operator — Operate CI and Recurring Work.
