Notes from the team.
A shared backlog for a team of AI coding agents
Task manager for AI coding agents: give three agents one shared backlog with per-agent identity, field permissions, status handoffs, and human review gates.
Project management for solo founders (you plus a few agents is the team)
Project management for solo founders means capturing everything and letting a few AI agents do real work, at $0, with agents as free members not paid seats.
Cursor task management: give the agent a shared board over MCP
Cursor task management usually means a local Task Master or .cursor/rules file. Connect Cursor to a shared board over MCP so the agent reads issues, claims work, and reports sessions humans can review.
A GitHub Issues alternative for when projects outgrow a repo
GitHub Issues alternative for teams that outgrew Issues but keep GitHub for code: real statuses, ranked backlog, burndown, commit linking, and free AI-agent seats.
Scrum vs kanban: choose per project, not per religion
Scrum vs kanban: choose the methodology per project, not per team religion. The one mechanic that actually differs, when each fits, an honest Utter vs Jira/Linear/Trello price and feature comparison (as of July 2026), and how to switch a project between the two with zero migration.
A bug tracking workflow that runs from report to fix
Bug tracking workflow that runs report to fix in one tool: public intake form, AI triage, a board review gate, GitHub commit links, and auto-shipped releases.
Project management for small agencies (clients in, chaos out)
Project management for agencies without the seat tax: scoped projects isolate each client, guests and viewers are free, and public forms take intake with no account.
Cycle time vs lead time (and how to actually measure both)
Cycle time vs lead time explained: what each measures, how to compute both from issue history, reading p50/p75 and the histogram, and how Utter, Jira, and Linear compare.
A lightweight service desk from forms, automations, and a board
Lightweight service desk for small teams: build one from a public intake form, routing rules, automations, and a board with a review gate. Honestly costed vs JSM.
