| 37 | ## What is Paca? |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Paca is a **self-hosted project management platform** where AI agents and humans collaborate as equal teammates inside a Scrum team — not as chatbots bolted on the side. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Jira gives you a backlog. ClickUp gives you automations. Monday gives you dashboards. **Paca gives your AI agents a seat at the table.** They join sprint planning, pick up tasks from the board, write BDD specs, and adapt alongside humans in real time. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | Everything about Paca — its workflow, its data model, its UI — is **configurable and extendable via plugins**. |

| 50 | |:--|:--|:--| |
| 51 | | **AI integration** | Chatbot add-ons, peripheral automation | AI agents as first-class Scrum teammates | |
| 52 | | **Collaboration model** | Human-only by default | Human + AI, side by side on the same board | |
| 53 | | **Hosting** | Vendor cloud (your data, their servers) | Self-hosted, you own everything | |
| 54 | | **Cost** | $8–$20+ per seat/month | **Free forever** | |
| 55 | | **Customization** | Limited; locked behind enterprise tiers | **Fully open: configuration + plugins** | |
| 56 | | **Weight** | Bloated feature sprawl | Lightweight core; extend only what you need | |
| 57 | | **Source** | Closed / proprietary | **100% open-source (Apache 2.0)** | |

| 61 | ## Core Idea: Humans and AI Agents, One Scrum Team |
| 62 | |
| 63 | The central insight behind Paca is that **AI agents should participate in the Scrum process**, not just generate output in isolation. |
| 64 | |
| 65 | In Paca, AI agents: |
| 66 | |
| 67 | - Are **assigned to sprints** and appear on the Scrumban board alongside human teammates |
| 68 | - **Pick up tasks** from the backlog and update their status in real time |
| 69 | - **Collaborate on BDD specs** — helping Product Owners and BAs write Gherkin scenarios |
| 70 | - **Contribute to System Design Documents** — keeping the architecture visible to the whole team |
| 71 | - **Probe, sense, and respond** to emerging complexity, just like a human would |
| 72 | |
| 73 | This is not automation. It is **genuine collaboration** — rooted in the Cynefin / Stacey framework's recognition that complex domains require teams, not pipelines. |

| 81 | ## Fully Customizable — Configuration and Plugins |
| 82 | |
| 83 | Paca ships as a small, focused core. Everything else is optional. |

| 85 | **Configuration-driven:** workflows, statuses, field definitions, board layouts, sprint rules, and a |
