Ensemble Session: AI Meets Agile
About Course
More than half of the time spent on Agile teams is spent on work that doesn’t involve writing code: capturing decisions, writing stories, aligning with stakeholders, planning, reviewing, clarifying, and reporting. This is the glue work that makes Agile flow—but it’s also where friction, delays, and duplication hide. AI Meets Agile is a hands-on Ensemble Session designed to show Agile team members how AI can support and streamline the non-coding parts of team collaboration.
We’ll explore how to prompt AI to:
- Write and refine user stories
- Split and prioritize work
- Generate summaries and notes
- Draft stakeholder updates
- Prep retrospectives or planning meetings
- Support team alignment and clarity
And we’ll do it all while reinforcing your team’s values, ethics, and workflow—not replacing them.
What Makes This Training Unique
