Recalibrate - How AI shakes up Agile teams

AI assistants are changing how we code. But this is just the beginning of how AI will transform software development: Agents can already estimate user stories, put them into code plans, write tests, monitor software in production, and categorize user feedback for us. This shift is set to revolutionize not only how we build software but also how we run agile teams.

Agile, which has been around for more than 20 years, was created in a different era of software development with its unique challenges. While some of its principles still hold, others must be rethought for the new age of AI-native development. For instance, do we still need sprints if AI can help us prioritize tasks in real-time? And what about cross-functional teams, if we can rely on virtual specialists? Join Sven and discover how the developer’s role will change and how we must rethink human-to-human interaction when AI becomes our primary developer buddy. One thing is clear: we must recalibrate how we work together in software teams.
