A Five-Category Taxonomy of Disclosed and Undisclosed Agent-Delegated Work in the Daily Stand-Up, and the Sprint-Board Byline Rule Now Built on Its Codes
A paper from the Schools of Emergent Priorities and Continuous Improvement develops a five-category taxonomy classifying daily stand-up updates by how they disclose any AI-agent involvement in the work reported, validated against nineteen teams' independently logged development-activity trails across six employers. Cohen's kappa for the scheme reaches 0.91, and the study tracks what happened after one employer built the taxonomy's codes into a Sprint Board Byline Rule tying ticket-completion credit to disclosure status.
