Smart Assignment: Automate Planview Leankit tasks with AI

Swiftask analyzes your Planview Leankit cards and instantly assigns them to the right team members based on their actual skills and availability.

Result:

Save valuable management time. Eliminate bottlenecks and ensure fair workload distribution effortlessly.

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

STEP 1 : Define skills

Set up team member expertise in Swiftask linked to their Planview Leankit accounts.

STEP 2 : Connect your board

Connect your Planview Leankit instance via secure API to allow Swiftask to read incoming cards.

STEP 3 : Configure AI rules

Define matching criteria: keywords in the card, priority level, and workload limits.

STEP 4 : Activate the workflow

Launch the agent. Each new card is now processed and assigned automatically.

Intelligent capabilities for Planview Leankit

The agent examines the card title, description, labels, and dependencies to understand business needs.

  • Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in planview leankit based on event context.
  • Automated actions: Automatic assignment to correct users. Email or Teams notification upon assignment. Rebalancing based on current load. Automatic escalation if no resource is available.
  • Native governance: All changes are tracked in the Leankit card history and the Swiftask activity log.

Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.

Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-planview-leankit@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.

Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
