Businessmap
· #402 most-usedEnterprise kanban with WIP limits, OKRs, and real flow metrics
Businessmap is an enterprise-grade kanban and portfolio platform where teams visualise work across boards, enforce WIP limits, link cards to strategic initiatives, and measure flow with built-in analytics. Connect it to Actionist and your agent can create and move cards, block impediments, run analytic reports, and react to board events — in any lane, across any board, without you switching tabs.
Eliminates manual work. Agents handle card creation, status updates, blocker comments, and analytic-report generation that teams currently do by hand after standups and sprint reviews.
What your Businessmap agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Businessmap × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Escalation card to resolved in one loop
When a customer sends an escalation email, your agent reads it, creates a Businessmap card in the Support Escalations board with priority and customer tier already filled in, checks the board for any existing related cards to link as context, and fires a Slack alert to the on-call CSM — all before the first human has read the email. The CSM books a follow-up call directly from the calendar invite the agent drops, and the card status flips to In Progress the moment they accept.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
