Planview announced on May 6 the launch of its new agent resource management capability, which provides enterprises with a unified system to plan, govern, and optimize both human and AI agent resources across their portfolios.
The introduction of this feature is significant as it addresses the growing need for organizations to manage blended workforces that include both people and artificial intelligence agents. The company said these tools allow leaders to track who or what is performing tasks, assess associated costs, ensure alignment with priorities, and maintain accountability for every action.
Matt Zilli, CEO of Planview, said: “Agentic AI has reshaped how businesses get work done. Enterprises now run blended human and agent workforces, but most leaders lack insight into whether those resources are allocated to the right work and who is accountable when something goes wrong. Planview is giving leaders the control they need to run a blended workforce with confidence and to answer the questions that every executive team is asking: what is agentic AI actually costing us – and is it delivering the outcomes we need?”
According to Planview’s announcement, these new capabilities extend their existing resource model—previously used by enterprises for managing human capacity—to include AI agents alongside humans at assignment. This enables managers to see total costs before making decisions. Features include tracking full associated costs such as compute usage; modeling scenarios involving both humans and agents; setting authority boundaries for AI assignments; maintaining continuous audit trails; enforcing policy at runtime; running substitution modeling; and providing real-time optimization insights as priorities shift.
Louise Allen, Chief Product Officer at Planview, said: “Planview has managed enterprise resource capacity longer and at a greater scale than any other portfolio management vendor. That experience — how resources are actually allocated, how blended workforces operate in practice, how agent capacity should be governed — defines our agent resource management. No horizontal AI platform offers this combination of resource management history, portfolio context, and enterprise trust.”
The company stated that purpose-built AI agents will be included in these offerings from day one—such as project management assistants that deliver status updates or backlog agents checking readiness criteria—and will be governed alongside human resources rather than treated as experimental features.
Agent resource management will become available on the Planview platform starting Fall 2026. Customers interested in early access are encouraged by Planview to contact their account teams.
