Multiple steps are executed in a fixed order, where each step utilizes the output of the previous one. Typical conditions for use: The task naturally breaks down into phases, each delivering a verifiable intermediate product; Control is more important than autonomy. The central trade-off: High control-flow predictability is gained at the cost of low flexibil…
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
A sequential pipeline runs work steps in a fixed order, with each step building on the previous result.
The POSIX shell specification describes pipeline processing as commands connected through data streams. Software delivery later applied this basic pattern to checks, builds, and releases.
Picture a row of stations: each station checks or changes the workpiece before passing it on. A failure holds up the stations behind it.
Ordered work steps depend on one another.
Useful for build, test, and release flows.
It exposes dependencies and checkpoints for repeatable flows. Its limit is latency: one slow or blocked step delays the whole chain.
