I tried this prompt on #ScrumCompass and it gave me great alternatives to consider: "The finance department uses a fixed-scope method to calculate returns, but Scrum works with changing scopes. What are other ways to measure the delivered value in Scrum that my finance department can use?" #scrum #agile #irr #valuedelivery

📢 Will AI Replace the Heart and Soul of #Scrum Teams? Not So Fast! 🚀💡 🤖 Imagine a world where #AI takes over mundane tasks—sounds great, right? But what happens when it treads into territories traditionally held by humans? 👩💼👨💼 Lets go deep into the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and the vital role of #ScrumMasters. 🎯 The essence of a Scrum Master goes beyond just managing processes. It's about fostering team dynamics, building relationships, and navigating the emotional labyrinth of project management. These are realms where human touch simply cannot be underrated. ⚙️ While AI may optimize efficiency with administrative finesse, tracking metrics, and managing backlogs, it's the human #ScrumMaster who glues a #ScrumTeam together with empathy, instinct, and personal interaction. 🔎 But let's not dismiss AI's potential—used smartly, it's a tool that can free up Scrum Masters to concentrate more on strategic and personal growth aspects of their role. 💪 Embrace AI for the win but remember, Scrum values the human over the robotic. That human edge is what makes us irreplaceable in the Agile world. 👇 Want to explore how AI complements but won't replace the human-centric #AgileLeadership?

Just wrapped up an incredible session with Punita Dave, founder of ApexOrion, and a true trailblazer in Agile and Scrum implementation, diving into the future of Agile teams powered by AI! Here's what we uncovered: AI isn't here to take over your job - it's here to make it easier. Think ally, not adversary! Insights from the Session: 1) Historical Perspective: Remember when IDEs boosted coding speed by 30%-40%? AI is set to do the same for Agile workflows. 2) AI's Current State: We're at the "Limited Memory Machines" phase, but Theory of Mind AI could be just 4-5 years away with quantum computing. AI in Action (Scrum Roles): ✅ Scrum Masters: Say goodbye to manual reporting and hello to smarter meeting facilitation. ✅ Product Owners: Data-driven insights without the data-crunching headache. ✅ Scrum Teams: Streamlined task management and coding standards enforcement. Looking Ahead: AI will handle 90% of repetitive tasks, freeing us to focus on what really matters—creative problem-solving and strategic innovation. My Favorite Part? Hearing how AI isn't just a tool but a team player, empowering professionals to spend time on work that excites and fulfills them. Organized by Standuply #AI #Agile #Scrum #FutureOfWork #Innovation

Share our last event with the hot topic about AI.

AI will replace US 😮 ! This is what your PO or your ProxyPO mah have said lately no matter how serious it is , let's be AGILE and reply to him from an AGILE perspective 💡 : #Acknowledge the concern "That's a valid concern "PO". While it's essential to be aware of technological advancements, let's focus on what we can control now. #Shift focus to proactive measures AI is a tool, not a replacement. Our role as Scrum Masters is to adapt and leverage these tools to enhance our agile processes. Let's explore how we can utilize AI to augment our team's capabilities rather than viewing it as a threat. #Align with Agile principles We can discuss this further in our next sprint planning or refinement session. This gives us an opportunity to brainstorm ideas and identify potential action points. #Emphasize human capabilities Remember, our strength lies in our ability to collaborate, adapt, and innovate. Let's channel this energy into exploring how we can leverage AI to deliver even greater value." 📣 The lesson is : people using AI will replace people who don't. #agile #po #SM #scrum #product #innovation

Most of us love shortcuts to save time and do things more efficiently. That's why we use GPS to find the fastest route to our destination. Similarly, AI can be an excellent shortcut to browse through vast amounts of data and find what we're looking for in no time. It can help us to make the right decisions faster.   On a lighter note, Jira is not the problem for everything!   Apply the power of PCASSO, the Intellectual Tool combined with the generative AI, and use this double engine to analyze the data available in Jira or any other Project Management software. You can play the role of a reviewer, validate the required insights demanded by the hat you wear (SM, AC, PO, PM, etc.)., and feel the difference between smart work and hard work.   If you're working on an agile team, there are many ways to Unlock AI's potential that can foster agility.   #AI #Agile #LeadershipDevelopment   Join me to learn the Mandatory AI Skills required for a Professional Agilist to lead agile assignments. I teach this in the Artificial Intelligence Professional Agilist (AIPA) Workshop and Certification Program offered by the LAAU®, Home of Actionable Guidance   DM Dr Divya for more details or email laau@leanagileaudit.university or info@leanagileaudit.university to get started. #LAAU #Agile #ScrumMaster #AgileCoach #PM #ProductOwner #SAFe #Scrum #kanban #ProductManager #ProjectManager #ProgramManager #ExecutiveLeadership
