Last year I wrote about the Methodology With No Name, my simple approach to software development using a Kanban board with WIP limits and a reverse WIP limit on the Ready column.
I have been doing more development in VS Code with AI coding agents, and I wanted a Kanban board that both people and AI could use. So I created MWNN Kanban.
As I worked with AI, I sometimes found myself confused about whether I was supposed to do something or whether the AI was supposed to do it. So cards can be assigned to either a human or AI. If a card is assigned to a human, it is clear that it is something I need to do rather than something I am waiting for the AI to handle.
MWNN Kanban stores the board as files in your workspace, with each card in its own Markdown file. This means the board can be committed with your source code and updated by either a person or an AI agent.
You can import a plan, hand individual cards to an AI, or run an AI loop that defines and implements work using GitHub Copilot, Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor. It can even verify completed work when that option is enabled.
The idea is to keep the work visible and simple while letting people and AI participate in the same workflow without losing track of who is supposed to do what.
