Coordinator is a Jenkins plugin to let the user create master job to include other ordinary jobs as build steps.
Build steps(job dependencies) could be categorized into serial/parallel
patterns.
And we believe these two patterns should cover almost every generic scenario along with breaking/non-breaking
options.
Jenkins has various ways to configure jobs execution order, such as built-in trigger Build after other projects are built, post-build action Build other projects and plenty of plugins. However, if you want to leverage Jenkins not only as a CI tool, but a sophisticated deployment platform, you will still miss the fine-grained build steps control seen in other product such as BuildForge.
Detail configuration walk through: http://www.tothenew.com/blog/jenkins-coordinator-plugin/

Serial/Parallel: Direct children of this kind of node will be executed sequentially/concurrently.
Breaking/Non-Breaking: Any failure on direct children of this kind of node will break/not break the whole build.
The UI configuration as below
