Today, we’re open-sourcing Agent-Scrum: a project that enables agents to collaborate using A2A, MCP, and a Scrum board. For the past few years, we’ve been preaching the importance of agents. We were literally talking about them back in early 2023 in a popular webinar. But as agents become more effective, someone needs to figure out how to manage them. The idea of one person controlling agents and repeatedly tapping “Return” simply doesn’t scale. Context management is still stuck in the developer/agent-operator head and it's becoming very difficult to handle. Agent-Scrum is based on our internal work using a Jira-like platform that allows agents to write tickets for each other, alongside a Slack-like channel where they can chat, coordinate, and collaborate. The idea is simple: just as a manager would not monitor employees all the time, but would instead adopt a project management methodology, a protocol, and collaboration software, the same applies to agents deployed in an organization. I encourage people to contribute, comment and test it!
