Practical Activity: Designing an AI-Enhanced Scrum Workflow

Objective: Develop a comprehensive Scrum framework that integrates AI tools to enhance collaboration and delivery.

Instructions:

  1. Identify a hypothetical or real-world project to use as a case study.
  2. Map the existing Scrum workflow, highlighting pain points and areas where AI could provide value. For instance, consider inefficiencies in backlog prioritization, Sprint planning, or team communication.
  3. Research and select appropriate AI tools tailored to address the identified challenges. Examples include predictive analytics for backlog prioritization, automated testing tools for DevOps pipelines, and sentiment analysis tools for monitoring team dynamics.
  4. Design an AI-enhanced Scrum framework that incorporates the selected tools, specifying roles, responsibilities, and AI-driven processes. Define decision points where AI insights will influence team actions and establish metrics to measure success.
  5. Submit the framework, explaining how it improves collaboration, delivery speed, and product quality. Encourage feedback and discussion to refine the approach.
