Building an AI-Optimized Kanban System: A Human-AI Collaboration Experiment

I’m embarking on an experiment to build a Kanban task management system specifically designed for AI-human collaboration. This isn’t just another project management tool—it’s a system where AI agents and humans work together as peers on software development tasks.

The Vision

Most task management tools treat tasks as simple items with a title and description. But when you’re working with AI agents (like Claude, GPT-4, or custom agents), they need much more context to be effective. They need to understand:

Bringing AI into your organization

I have now worked with multiple teams that have introduced an AI driven development into their development workflow and I have seen a pattern emerge. When AI, and more specifically Vibe Coding, is introduced into a traditional software development organization that are following an Agile process there are three tensions that quickly arise. All three of these tensions are due to the rapid pace of development.

I’m back

It has been a while since I’ve blogged. I had a blog named CheezyWorld.com for many years but stopped posting more than 12 years ago. At the time I was traveling for work as well as traveling around the world to speak at conferences. My life circumstances are different now and I am happy to return to blogging. I am doing (and have been doing) a lot of exciting work and have a lot to share.
