we are creating a product inventory solution where each agent having their own specific tasks.  
Agent 1 : List the products from api  
Agent 2 : Adding a product to cart using api  
Agent 3 : Web search product for best price  
Agent 4 : Billing the cart items into database

We are trying to create a manager agent which will execute the task of specific agent based on the user prompt / query. But manager agent always runs the agent tasks sequentially one after another.

please find the crew below -  
return Crew(  
agents=self.agents,  
tasks=self.tasks,  
manager\_agent=self.manager\_agent(),  
verbose=True,  
process=Process.hierarchical  
)

Please help me with the solution.

Have you followed [this thread here](https://community.crewai.com/t/manager-agent-delegates-task-to-wrong-agent-in-a-hierarchical-process/3179)? There I propose an alternative solution to `Process.hierarchical` using the concept of Flows. It might help you in some way.

Which model are you using as the manager llm? This might impact what the manager does. Some models don’t have strong reasoning/planning capabilities.

Also, how explicit are you in your prompts?
