A practical journal on shipping IT products with AI agents. Guides on MCP, automated testing, backlogs, and processes for PMs, product managers, developers, and QA.
Three concrete custom MCP tools you can build on top of a task tracker's own MCP surface, a standup digest, a stale-PR nudger, and a diff-based story point estimator, with the code for each.
How to set up a local MCP server in Claude Code and Cursor, the config mistakes that silently break it, and what to reach for once one stdio server per developer stops being enough.
A shared backlog.md file works fine for one developer and one agent. Here's what the research and Anthropic's own experiments show breaks once a team runs several agents against the same codebase, and what actually fixes it.
Why juggling client chats across five apps quietly eats a freelancer's week, what the research actually says about it, and how AI can turn scattered messages into a tracked task list.
A step-by-step guide to building your own MCP server for a task tracker, with code, an auth model comparison across six popular trackers, and the access-control mistakes that turn an agent integration into an incident.
A developer-focused comparison of Linear, GitHub Projects, Plane, ClickUp, Shortcut, Height, and Asana as Jira alternatives, plus where TAM fits as a fully governed, evidence-based option.
A breakdown of the three maturity levels of AI in software development, from zero-maintenance automation to governed autonomous agents, and how each one is built into TAM's architecture, live today or rolling out next.
A practical playbook for using AI agents to write user stories, estimate story points against your codebase, and groom a balanced sprint backlog automatically, with prompt templates included.
A copy-paste cheat sheet of 15 role-based prompts for planning, sprint execution, stakeholder communication, and retros, built for PMs, tech leads, and Scrum Masters using ChatGPT or Claude.
Stop breaking your flow to update tickets by hand. Connect Cursor and Claude Code to an MCP-native task tracker like TAM in under 60 seconds and let your AI agents manage the board while you code.
