About

During AI for Agile Leadership, you will explore how Artificial Intelligence can enhance your role as a Scrum Master, Product Owner, Agile Coach or Release Train Engineer. You will learn how AI operates in Agile environments, what data teams rely on, and when AI is — or is not — suitable for driving value and collaboration.

Through recognizable Agile examples, you will see how AI is already being used to support planning, performance insights and leadership development. You will also reflect on risks, limitations and ethical considerations such as transparency, trust and responsible use in decision-making. In the second part of the training, you will apply AI directly in a practical Agile case to experience the impact on flow and continuous improvement.


Objectives

By the end of this training you understand where AI in Agile adds real value and where human leadership must remain in control. You gain a clear view of how to use AI for Scrum Masters, AI for Product Owners and AI tools for Agile teams in a responsible way. You learn how to prepare and run ceremonies with AI support, how to improve backlog management and sprint planning, how to use AI in retrospectives and how to apply AI in Agile project management without breaking transparency, trust and ownership in the team.


Programme

Day 1 – AI in Agile ceremonies and team rhythm

Day 1 focuses on the core rhythm of Agile teams and how AI can quietly support preparation, facilitation and follow up.

Key elements of day 1:

  • Mapping opportunities and limits of AI for Agile ceremonies in Scrum and SAFe, including reviews and retrospectives
  • Using AI for sprint planning and backlog management: goals, options, risks, clarification, examples and acceptance criteria
  • Developing patterns for using AI tools for Agile teams while keeping accountability with the team and Product Owner

Day 2 – AI for Agile leadership, flow and communication

Day 2 zooms out to Agile leadership and flow across teams. You learn how AI can help you see patterns, tell clearer stories and support continuous improvement at scale.

Key elements of day 2:

  • Using AI for Agile leadership to explore dependencies, options and trade offs in Agile and scaled Agile environments
  • Drafting stakeholder updates and decision notes with AI, and analysing team feedback and impediments to improve flow and performance
  • Designing prompts, guardrails and a personal action plan for applying AI in Agile project management in your own environment

Certification

Participants receive a certificate of completion, marking the first step toward effectively applying AI within Agile leadership.

Audience

This training is suitable for Agile professionals who want to use AI in a practical and responsible way to support their teams and projects. It is especially relevant for Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Release Train Engineers, Agile coaches and leaders who are involved in Agile project management, team facilitation, SAFe events or transformation initiatives and want to understand how AI can support ceremonies, decision making and collaboration without undermining Agile values.


Prerequisites

No technical or programming background is required.
Curiosity about digital innovation and the impact of AI on collaboration is all you need.

FAQ

What is AI for Agile leadership in this training?

In this training, AI for Agile leadership means using AI to support insight, communication and decision preparation, while keeping leadership, prioritisation and accountability with people. You learn how to ask better questions and explore options with AI, not how to outsource decisions.

How can AI support Scrum Masters in daily work?

AI for Scrum Masters can help with preparing agendas, generating questions, spotting patterns in team feedback and drafting follow ups after ceremonies. You learn concrete prompts and examples that fit sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives and daily stand ups.

How can AI help Agile leaders improve team performance?

You explore how AI can help analyse impediments, recurring issues and improvement actions so you can have better conversations about flow and team performance. The goal is not to score or rank people, but to create better insight and focus.

Which AI tools are useful for Agile teams in this training?

We typically use one or two general purpose AI tools, such as ChatGPT or Copilot. The focus is on building reusable patterns that can be applied across different AI tools your organisation may use.

How can I use AI in sprint planning and retrospectives without losing team ownership?

You learn how to use AI for sprint planning and retrospectives in a way that supports preparation and reflection, but keeps decisions and commitments with the team. We discuss prompts and facilitation patterns that protect transparency, safety and responsibility.

Do Agile leaders need technical AI knowledge to benefit from this course?

No. You do not need to be an AI engineer or data scientist. The training focuses on how to ask effective questions, design good prompts and embed AI into existing Agile practices.

Can this training be delivered as an AI workshop for Agile teams?

Yes. The program can be delivered as an AI workshop for Agile teams or as an in-company training for Scrum Masters, Product Owners and Agile leaders. In that case we can work with your own backlog items, ceremonies and organisational context.
