Course details
The age of AI has begun. Many teams fear and dream of working with intelligent machines. But a quieter revolution has taken place. AI tools such as Microsoft's Copilot can develop products with only short prompts. This will have a huge impact on your agile team.
Back in 2001, the Agile Manifesto was created to help teams closely collaborate on changing products. Yet, modern product development looks a lot more like distributed teams working in close collaboration with an AI tool.
In this course, Doug Rose explores what this means for the future of the agile mindset and how it will change the work done by product development teams. Find out which agile processes will continue to be essential. Plus, examine newer challenges such as AI alignment, fair use, and the knowledge-skill death spiral. With a change in focus, agile teams can continue to thrive in the age of AI.
