3. Understanding Your Role in the Agile Ecosystem Before we dive into AI integration, let's identify where you fit in the Scrum framework and what challenges you face daily. Product Owner Maximising value, prioritising backlogs, and aligning stakeholder vision with team execution Scrum Master Facilitating ceremonies, removing impediments, and nurturing team growth Developer Building increments, estimating effort, and delivering quality code Which Scrum role do you currently play?

4. Activity 1: Current Role & AI Assessment Take 5 minutes to reflect on your current work patterns and AI readiness. This self-assessment will help identify opportunities for AI enhancement in your role. (Refer worksheet) 1 Identify Your Role What is your primary Scrum role and key responsibility area? 2 Daily & Weekly Tasks List the tasks you perform regularly—be specific about time-consuming activities 3 Automation Opportunities Which tasks could benefit from automation or AI enhancement? 4 Current AI Usage What AI tools (if any) are you already using in your workflow? 5 Comfort Level Rating Rate your comfort with AI in your role on a scale of 1-5

5. AI-Powered Demonstrations Across Scrum Roles Experience how AI tools are revolutionising Scrum practices with live demonstrations tailored to each role. These showcases reveal practical applications you can implement immediately. Product Owner Tools: JIRA, Confluence, Microsoft Copilot Demonstration: Transform high-level requirements into detailed epics and user stories using AI-powered backlog creation Auto-generate Epics, User Stories & acceptance criteria Prioritise based on business value Create Risk & dependencies Scrum Master Tools: JIRA, Confluence, Microsoft Copilot Demonstration: Streamline Scrum ceremonies with AI-enhanced facilitation and documentation Generate retrospective insights Auto-create sprint reports Track impediment patterns Developer Tools: JIRA, Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot with VS Code Demonstration: Accelerate development with AI-assisted estimation, task breakdown, and intelligent code suggestions Story point estimation Technical task decomposition Real-time code completion

10. Activity 2: AI Implementation Canvas Now it's time to create your personalised AI adoption strategy. Work individually or in small groups to complete the canvas below, then share your insights with the larger group. Role Which Scrum role will benefit from this AI integration? AI Tool Which specific AI tool or platform will you leverage? Use Case What specific problem or task will AI help solve or enhance? Benefit What measurable improvement do you expect to achieve? Agile Value Impact How does this align with Agile principles and values? Group Sharing Instructions: Prepare a 2-minute pitch explaining your canvas. Focus on the "why" behind your choices and expected outcomes. We'll hear from 3-4 groups to inspire broader adoption ideas.
