Most developer project boards assume that the person assigned to a task is a human.
You create an issue, assign it to someone, move it through the workflow, and eventually mark it as done.
AI coding agents change that assumption.
A task could now be assigned to an agent to implement a feature, another agent could run tests or review the changes, while a developer coordinates the work and makes the final decisions.
At that point, a traditional Kanban board starts looking less like a workspace and more like a task tracker.
That’s why I’ve been exploring Sharkly.ai as a free AI-native alternative to traditional project-management tools. The interesting part is that AI agents can participate in the workflow alongside human teammates rather than being treated as a separate AI assistant.
For me, the bigger question is:
Should the next generation of developer project-management tools manage tasks—or manage collaboration between humans and AI agents?
How would you want your project board to handle AI agents?
