# The Forrester Wave™: Adaptive Process Orchestration Software, Q3 2026
Camunda is named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™ for Adaptive Process Orchestration
### Access Report
[](https://camunda.com/state-of-agentic-orchestration-and-automation/)
Enterprises are deploying AI agents faster than ever, but a widening gap remains between what those agents can do and the end-to-end business outcomes they actually deliver. Adaptive process orchestration is Forrester's category for platforms built to close that gap: coordinating AI agents, people, and systems across complete processes, using both deterministic and nondeterministic control flows, rather than automating isolated tasks.
We're pleased to share that Camunda has been named a **Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Adaptive Process Orchestration Software, Q3 2026**.
Camunda orchestrates agents, people, and systems across the full, end-to-end process, combining outer orchestration (coordinating agents, people, and systems across a process) with inner orchestration (governing how an agent's reasoning connects to the tools it acts through) in one governed model. All of it runs on Zeebe, our distributed process engine, so mission-critical processes stay observable, auditable, and reliable at enterprise scale.
