An agile development kanban board for engineering teams running Scrum or flow-based delivery in Taskade.
What's Included
- Sprint Board: Backlog, In Progress, In Review, Done columns on a Board view with WIP limits per stage
- Swimlanes: Bugs, features, tech-debt, spikes — one row per work type
- AI Defect Triage Agent: AI agent reads inbound issues and tags severity, owner, and column
- GitHub PR Automation: When a PR opens, card moves to "In Review"; when merged, card moves to "Done"
- Cycle-Time Dashboard: Card-history chart showing average days-in-column per work type
Why This Template Wins
- Cards move on real events: PR opens trigger column moves — engineers don't drag cards manually
- Defect triage instant: New issues land in the right column with the right severity in seconds
- Cycle-time visible inline: No separate dashboard — the agent draws the chart from card history
How to Use
- Clone this template into your Taskade workspace
- Customize columns and WIP limits for sprint cadence
- Connect GitHub, Linear, Slack
- Train the AI Defect Triage Agent on past issues
- Set up automation triggers for PR-open, PR-merge, and stall coaching
FAQ
Does this work for Scrum and Kanban teams?
Yes. Scrum teams set sprint-length WIP limits; Kanban teams set per-column WIP limits. The agent adapts triage to whichever cadence the team runs.
Can the agent identify recurring blockers?
Yes. Agent reviews multi-sprint card history and surfaces themes — dependencies, scope creep, unclear acceptance — so retros focus on real patterns.
What plan supports a 20-engineer team?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles the team. Business ($40/mo) adds advanced cycle-time analytics across multiple boards.
