Takeaways:
• Sprint boards and status rituals were designed to coordinate humans — they don't map cleanly onto a world where AI agents are executing work asynchronously and continuously, not on a two-week cadence
• PMs and TPMs shift from tracking "who's doing what" to defining guardrails, success criteria, and evaluation loops for agents — the job moves upstream from coordination to
specification
• Traditional status updates (what did you do, what's blocked) become less meaningful when agents work 24/7; the operating model needs new signals — agent confidence scores, task completion quality, human-in-the-loop intervention rates.
• Backlog grooming changes shape: instead of just sequencing tickets, PMs need to decide what's agent-suitable vs. requires human judgment, and design the handoff points between the two
