For engineering leaders
Your agents are not the bottleneck any more
About a month into agent adoption, most teams notice the same thing: writing the code stopped being the slow part. What replaced it is less visible and harder to staff — keeping a backlog in a state an agent can actually work from.
What changes for your team?
Someone rewrites tickets before an agent can start
Laimon grooms items to an agent-actionable state as they arrive
Sprint planning is a meeting about what is even ready
The Ready column is maintained continuously, not on Monday
"Done" means someone said so, with nothing attached
Work reaches review carrying the commits behind it; a person still closes it
Agent work orders are copy-pasted prompts
Agents pull their work over MCP, with acceptance criteria attached
What does Laimonade not do?
It does not write your code, review your pull requests, or decide what the product should be. It owns the layer between those: what is worth doing next, specified well enough that an agent can act on it, and verified once it comes back. If your constraint is still code generation quality or review throughput, this is not your bottleneck yet.
The longer argument
- Six signs your team has a product-ownership gap — how to tell whether this is your problem.
- Why coding-agent adoption stalls after the first month — what happens at week five.
- Definition of done when an agent wrote the code — the verification half.
