The challenge of manual assignment in complex workflows
In Planview Leankit, manual card assignment is a constant source of friction. Managers spend valuable time checking availability, skill sets, and priorities before delegating each task. This manual process slows down value flow and creates assignment errors.
Main negative impacts:
Managerial cognitive load
Constantly tracking every team member's capacity to assign the right tasks is time-consuming and hard to scale.
Implementation delay
Cards sit idle waiting for assignment, delaying work start and impacting overall delivery cycles.
Workload imbalance
Without granular visibility, some team members are overloaded while others are underutilized, creating frustration.
Swiftask introduces Smart Assignment: an AI agent that automatically reads Planview Leankit card content, identifies technical requirements, and assigns the task to the most qualified and available team member.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Before automation
A manager receives a new request. They must open Leankit, consult profiles, check schedules, then manually assign the card. Meanwhile, priorities have shifted, and the chosen person is already overloaded.
With Swiftask Smart Assignment
As soon as a card is created, Swiftask analyzes it, detects required skills, and assigns it in real-time to the ideal contributor. The project moves without downtime.
Deploying Smart Assignment in 4 steps
1
STEP 1 : Define skills
Set up team member expertise in Swiftask linked to their Planview Leankit accounts.
2
STEP 2 : Connect your board
Connect your Planview Leankit instance via secure API to allow Swiftask to read incoming cards.
3
STEP 3 : Configure AI rules
Define matching criteria: keywords in the card, priority level, and workload limits.
4
STEP 4 : Activate the workflow
Launch the agent. Each new card is now processed and assigned automatically.
