Plane if humans want the polished product tracker. itsaplan if agents will open and close issues. TaskView if a board is enough.

Stacks / Docs

Easy

Plane + itsaplan

Issues, boards, and cycles you host — Trello, Jira, and Asana without the seat OS.

The problem

Trello is a board that grows a Premium meter. Jira is an operating system. Asana is a seat tax for a list. You wanted issues, a board, and a cycle. Plane is in the catalog; itsaplan is the Linear/Jira-shaped tracker agents can actually drive.
