The biggest bottleneck in software development isn’t coding—it’s planning. Agilien is a new AI agile tool that solves this problem by automating the tedious process of “sprint zero,” turning your high-level concepts into a fully structured, ready-to-work backlog so your team can start developing faster.
Addressing the Challenge of Manual Backlog Creation
Every project starts with a great idea, but translating that idea into a well-defined plan is a major hurdle. Teams spend countless hours in meetings, debating epics, writing user stories, and defining technical tasks. This manual process is slow, inconsistent, and often drains a project’s momentum before it even begins.
Introducing Agilien: Your AI-Powered Planning Partner
We built Agilien to eliminate the friction of initial project setup. It’s a generative planning tool that acts as your expert co-pilot, intelligently crafting a complete project foundation based on your inputs. With Agilien, you can:
- Instantly Generate a Full Project Hierarchy: Provide a simple domain description, and Agilien builds a detailed plan with epics, user stories, and technical sub-tasks.
- Enrich Stories with Key Details: Every story comes complete with a narrative description, Gherkin-style acceptance criteria, priorities, and estimates.
- Visualize Workflows with AI Diagrams: Automatically generate PlantUML diagrams (Sequence, Class, Activity) for any work item to ensure architectural and procedural clarity.
- Establish a Complete Project Timeline: The AI schedules every task with start and end dates, creating a comprehensive Gantt chart for the entire project.
- Achieve Seamless Jira Integration: Sync your entire plan to Jira with one click, or import an existing Jira project into Agilien for analysis and enhancement.
