Cooperative scheduling takes place when a process voluntarily gives up the CPU. This can happen when a process switches from the running state to the waiting state (when it needs to wait for I/O) or when it switches from the running state to the ready state (when it has finished its current task and is waiting for the CPU to become available again).
