The board and workstreams
How work moves from scoping to done, and what a workstream holds.
The Board is the team’s view of everything in flight. Each card is a workstream.
Stages
| Stage | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Scoping | Being shaped before anyone builds. |
| Building | Agents are at work. |
| In review | Waiting on people. |
| Done | Finished. Done work drops off the board after seven days; it stays reachable from Activity. |
| Archived | Hidden from the board. |
Move a workstream between stages from the stage menu on its page.
Cards
Each card shows the workstream’s title, the agents working on it and what each is doing right now, a Needs a reply badge when an agent is waiting for input, how many pull requests it has produced, when it last changed, and who is involved.
Agents started without a workstream appear under Agents not on the board.
A workstream’s page
- Brief: the context every agent added to the workstream is given. Write it the way you would brief a new colleague. Markdown works.
- Agents: every agent on it, with the workers a conductor started nested under it.
- Discussion: comments for the people on the team. Agents do not read this; message an agent from its own page.
- Links: pull requests and issues the agents produced.
- Activity: what happened on this workstream, newest first.
Activity
Activity in the sidebar lists what people and agents have done across the team, grouped by day: agents started and finished, workstreams moved, comments, and pull requests opened.
