AI+ for Agile Teams
Sprint Faster with AI in Your Workflow
Sprints that move. Ceremonies that don't drag.
Your team's ceremonies eat time and produce thinner output than they should. This book gives you a practical, ceremony-by-ceremony map of where AI accelerates agile work — with 36 copy-ready prompts for user stories, sprint planning, retrospectives, metrics, and sprint reporting. Run a backlog refinement in half the time. Draft a stakeholder sprint briefing in 20 minutes. Built by an AI engineering firm that works in agile environments every day.
- 36 ready-made, market-tested prompts: user stories, acceptance criteria, sprint planning briefs, retrospective preparation, metrics narratives, sprint reports
- A ceremony-by-ceremony AI map — backlog refinement, sprint planning, retrospectives, reviews, stakeholder reporting
- A user story workflow that turns ambiguous backlog items into ready-to-pull stories with acceptance criteria
- A retrospective preparation discipline that breaks the loop of repeated themes producing no change
- A 30-day plan for Scrum Masters, Product Owners, developers, Engineering Managers, and Agile Coaches
Any member of an agile team — Scrum Master, Product Owner, developer, tester, designer, or analyst — working in a team that uses any agile or iterative method (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, or hybrid). Cross-industry: this skill is used in software development, marketing, finance, healthcare IT, government digital services, consulting, and any context where iterative teamwork governs delivery.
Also for:Team leads, Engineering Managers, and Agile Coaches who want to understand where AI fits in their coaching practice and how to help their teams adopt it without disrupting agile principles. Programme Managers overseeing multiple agile teams who need a shared vocabulary for AI-assisted ways of working.
