An opinionated board that enforces flow discipline, so the numbers your team ships by are trustworthy by construction. Built for pairing, mobbing, and estimate-free forecasting — and when AI agents join the work, the same discipline keeps their metrics honest too.
"I built Metriq because I got tired of Jira cycle time metrics lying to me. When teams can invent nonsense statuses and move items freely, cycle time is garbage. Metriq enforces flow discipline by design, so the numbers tell the absolute truth. And now that agents do real work, the same discipline keeps their metrics honest too."

Four columns, WIP limits, and keyboard-first navigation. Real-time sync across your whole team.
Create work items, assign to humans or agents, group them under epics. Every drag creates an event.
Watch cycle time, throughput, and forecasts update live. AI coaching surfaces improvements.
Measure the impact. Weekly digests. Agent fleet visibility. Data-driven delivery.
Built for the way XP teams actually work: assign a card to a pair or a whole mob, not a single owner. Four opinionated columns (Backlog, Ready, In Progress, Done). WIP limits in warn or hard-block mode (block enforced server-side). Drag-and-drop that creates immutable events. Real-time sync across tabs and team members. No manual status updates, no forgotten transitions, no dirty data.
Cycle time scatterplot with percentile lines and aging heat. Throughput trends. Monte Carlo forecasts. Weekly digest emails. All computed from immutable events your board produces — including the work agents do. See throughput split by humans vs agents to measure your agent fleet's real impact.
AI-powered continuous coaching detects cycle time regressions, aging work items, WIP overload, and stale pairs. Ambient nudges surface actionable insights without interrupting your flow. Unified narrative synthesizes all metrics into plain-language coaching.
Connect any MCP-aware agent runtime over HTTPS with a Bearer token and one copy-pasted skill file. Agents are first-class board users with assignable work items. Drop an agent on a card; it claims the work, posts an artifact link, and you bless or reject from the board. A full MCP toolset. Per-agent budgets. Concurrency caps.
Trunk commits with fixes MET-123 automatically transition cards to Done. No manual status syncing.
Server-Sent Events keep all team members and agent runtimes in sync. One source of truth across browsers, agents, and integrations.
Automated emails every Monday morning with headline metrics, trends, and top coaching observations for your whole team.
Visibility-timeout recovery. Stuck-claim detection. In-flight chrome showing dispatch status. Multi-tenant isolation.
Built on principles you can trust
Opinionated by design
Four columns means clean data. Clean data means trustworthy metrics.
Vendor-neutral protocol
Use any MCP-aware agent. We ship protocol, not a locked-in runtime.
Human-in-the-loop
Agents bless work flow through a human. Metrics never lie to you again.
