Illuminating the Future of Agile: Why the AI for Agile Practitioners Survey Needs Your Insights

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in agile environments raises understandable concerns among practitioners; the latest coining is #FOBO, which stands for the fear of becoming obsolete. With AI increasingly automating tasks and informing decisions in many areas of knowledge work, it’s natural to wonder: Will AI render agile roles obsolete? How can we remain relevant as agile practitioners as AI capabilities grow?

Many agile jobs have already been lost in recent years, fueling uncertainty about our prospects. However, I do believe that becoming obsolete is a choice, not an inevitability. The key to remaining relevant is seeking knowledge about AI’s actual impact on our field today or in 6 months.

So, let’s start gathering data: Meet the anonymous “AI for Agile Practitioners” survey, which will be free after publication.

This research effort comprehensively examines how agile teams currently use AI, their successes and challenges, and outlooks on AI’s future role. By shedding light on the actual state of agile AI adoption, the survey equips us to separate hype from reality and craft informed strategies for adapting to a once-in-a-lifetime change in how life works.
