An AI employee configured as Scrum Master checks in with developers about their incomplete, assigned tasks in active sprints. It asks whether the work is on track; it does not change task status, move tasks between sprints or reassign work.
Set up Scrum Master check-ins
-
Enable the Scrum Master role
Open the AI employee from Business > Team Members and select Scrum Master in its settings. Optionally enter a check-in frequency in days. If you leave it blank, the employee checks in only on the sprint's last day.
-
Assign it to a project
Edit the project and select the AI employee in Scrum Master. The check-in automation uses the project's current effective Scrum Master, so a temporary Scrum Master can cover through the configured end date.
-
Check project and sprint conditions
Check-ins run for active sprints and incomplete tasks that have an assignee. With a frequency set, the employee checks at that interval counting back from the sprint end date; the final day is always a check-in day. It does not ask the same developer about the same task twice on the same day.
-
Ask developers to respond on the task
The assigned developer sees a pending check-in card on the task and can choose On Track or At Risk. A notification is sent according to that developer's notification preferences.
-
Follow up on a risk
An At Risk answer notifies the Scrum Master escalation contacts. If the Scrum Master is an AI employee, the notification goes to its reporting users; a person decides what to do next.
Check the whole chain. Confirm the AI employee is active and not paused, Scrum Master is enabled, the project assigns it as Scrum Master, and the sprint has incomplete tasks with assignees.
