Artificial Intelligence In Agile Management Is Happening

Artificial Intelligence In Agile Management Is Happening

Just a few years ago, the very mention of artificial intelligence (AI) would be met with jokes about Martians or UFOs – but now everyone knows a little something about AI and why it matters. No longer the stuff of science fiction or the far-flung future, AI is here to stay and its ability to change the way we work, live, and play is growing daily.

AI has the potential to improve processes, streamline decision-making, fill in knowledge gaps, and support resource planning – all fundamentals of agile management. Think of your day-to-day and how much time you spend on reviewing the product backlog or resource planning to ensure that your projects get delivered on time. Now, what if you had an intelligent AI-enabled agile management tool that could handle the burden of these tasks so you could better focus on meeting the needs of your team and customers?

Yes, AI and its close cousin, machine learning, are making waves in agile management and it’s time to understand what the fuss is all about. Just like the move from flat spreadsheets to highly integrated planning software changed the way you interact with your agile teams and upper management  – the same is about to happen with the AI.

What Is Artificial Intelligence?

The tricky aspect to AI is that everyone has a slightly different understanding of what it can and can’t do. To help you understand how AI can bring positive change to your agile management system and approach, we’ve put together a concise list of why AI matters:

It is important to remember that this level of AI takes time and patience. Remember the AI tools are only as smart as the data they’re given and it takes time to learn the data and understand how the data fits together.

How Artificial Intelligence is Changing Agile Management

The automation and deep analysis aspects of AI make it particularly appealing for anyone working in agile management. By giving responsibility for day-to-day management and administration tasks to your AI tools, you’ve got more time to focus on the intangibles of agile management.

Think of how your day changes when your AI-enabled agile management tool uses its knowledge to review your agile projects for performance, areas for improvement, and makes decisions on what and why the teams should work on next. It takes trusting the data that you have to give your agile project the extra set of eyes you need to look deeper into the data.

Deeper insights, unbiased decision-making, logic-based risk assessment, and automation of the routine are all well-suited to AI agile management. Think of AI as your second set eyes into your projects, teams, and iterations and your partner who can ease your day-to-day allowing you to focus on the more human aspects of agile management.

The important thing to remember about AI-enabled agile management is that this is all in the name of improvement and achieving a  greater level of success. When you have the ability to improve how your team performs and how your projects are managed – this all points to better outcomes for you and your team. Don’t fear AI – it can and will make your days better so you can focus on leading and guiding and less time on number-crunching.
