In Scrum, there are three artifacts helping us keep transparency high. But what are their practical shapes?

Most problems in Scrum don’t come from misunderstanding the framework. They come from applying reasonable thinking in the wrong context. These cognitive traps show up as decisions that feel right—more efficient, more controlled, more predictable—but quietly undermine transparency, inspection, and ad...

In this blog, I want to discuss a powerful phrase that has come up in my interviews and research: AI is the next printing press. The analogy is powerful because, just as the printing press turned knowledge from a scarce luxury into an abundant product, AI and automation are acting as a "cognitive pr...

Scrum é um quadro de trabalho de trabalho para lidar com problemas complexos em ambientes complexos. A unidade fundamental do Scrum é a equipa. Scrum é muito mais sobre comportamento e interacções do que ferramenta ou processo. Sem os Valores do Scrum: Compromisso, Foco, Abertura, Respeito e Coragem...

In this episode, Eric Naiburg and Darrell Fernandes of Scrum.org tackle a pressing question: How do you measure the impact of AI on your team? from a recent webinar focused on AI as a teammate. (19:12 Minutes)

Are you prepared for the remaining days of a canceled Sprint? Let's check it.

In diesem Webcast zeigen Boris Steiner und Peter Götz, wie Product Owner ihren Verantwortungsbereich sinnvoll erweitern können, ohne Scrum „neu zu erfinden“. Du erfährst, wie Nachhaltigkeit in Product Vision, Priorisierung, Sprint-Entscheidungen und Erfolgsmessung integriert werden kann - pragmatisc...

En este artículo el PST Alex Ballarin explica cómo la IA es una gran oportunidad para los product owners, y da ejemplos de 5 prompts de IA que

Some Scrum Teams use specific Sprints with specific names for specific purposes. But there is a problem with this approach.

If your organization is learning how to run Scrum when half your team is AI agents, you already know that traditional Scrum events require a change. The Sprint Review is no exception. In a traditional setup, the human developer who built the feature takes pride in demonstrating it to the stakehold...

In diesem Artikel erklärt PST Simon Flossmann 5 Fallstricke, die Product-Owner-Karrieren sabotieren

In this episode of the Scrum.org Community Podcast, Dave West sits down with Tomasz Maj, Head of Product Ops at Odevo, to explore how a rapidly growing property management giant is navigating the AI revolution. (51:36 Minutes)

This article argues that the tool on which 62% of agile teams rely is about to be demoted from knowledge authority to execution interface. We need to move from Jira to AI Agents.

Someone notices a problem. Should we knock it out now?

In this article, PST Simon Flossmann shares 3 insights about setting Sprint Goals.

In this webinar, PST Stefan Wolpers introduces examples-first writing, a practical way to replace abstract rules with concrete scenarios. You will learn to write Product Backlog items using Given-When-Then examples, create outcome-focused Sprint Goals, and document decisions that last. The session w...

Having a good conversation about the ordering of the Product Backlog comes down to great facilitation, and a good facilitator needs a toolkit. Here are six great facilitation approaches for encouraging debate and discussion on the content and ordering of the Product Backlog.

Multi‑functional teams don’t emerge from slogans like “learn and help each other”. They appear when structure, metrics, rewards and people practices stop punishing cross‑functionality and start deliberately supporting it.

Mastering AI-augmented Sprint Planning requires a transition from a human-only process to a hybrid one. Your AI agents will not speak up, but they will be the key contributors to your Sprint's success. By ignoring them you will put your Sprint Goal in danger.

92% of product leaders own revenue but lack time for analysis - operating model design failure, not productivity. Revenue accountability without analytical capacity is organizational malpractice.

“Receiving” doesn’t mean watching your Sprint Review. It means living with what you ship. If your transparency only serves the builders, you get surprises: tickets, escalations, workarounds.

In this episode of the Scrum.org Community Podcast, Eric Naiburg, COO at Scrum.org  and Darrell Fernandes, Executive Advisor at Scrum.org continue to dive into how to make AI a true teammate in product development while answering questions from a recent webinar on the topic. (16:47 Minutes)

In this episode of AI At Work, Neil Hughes of Tech Talks sat down with Dave West, CEO of Scrum.org, to talk about one of the most overlooked challenges in modern product development: stakeholder collaboration.

Was würde von Ihrem professionellen Selbstverständnis übrig bleiben, wenn Sie jeden Framework-Namen und jede Zertifizierung aus Ihrem Lebenslauf streichen würden? Was auch immer es ist: Investieren Sie dort.

Scrum uses a “just in time” approach to meetings.

For years we've heard the phrase “content is king.” And while content is still important, I think it's time to crown a new king. Today, I think it's fair to say that context is king.

O caminho para a maturidade do Product Owner culmina no nível de "Empreendedor", mas a realidade operacional muitas vezes impede que o PO atue como o verdadeiro Maximizador de Valor. Este artigo explora o paradoxo do PO que domina o Scrum e o EBM, mas vive "preso na lama" de tarefas burocráticas. De...

Your anxiety about AI is a signal, not a verdict. Instead, consider: What would remain of your professional value if you removed every framework name and certification from your resume? Whatever that is: Invest there.

AI is rewiring Scrum Teams. Smaller crews, faster experiments, TDD renaissance. But Scrum's core stays unchanged. Why empiricism wins in the AI era.

“Performing” in Scrum isn’t a role label. It’s a reality check: the people doing the work must see the real work, in real time, or they’ll guess and everyone else gets a prettier story.

Während die meisten agilen Praktiker noch über die Relevanz von KI diskutieren, habe ich sie einfach genutzt – über zwei Jahre hinweg, von einfachen Korrekturen bis hin zu autonomen KI-Agenten. Jede Phase lehrte mich, was die vorherige nicht konnte. Das Zeitfenster, diese Kompetenz aufzubauen, ist o...

Are Backlog Items traceable requirements as we know them from requirements engineering or are they something different?

This whitepaper by PST Rob van Lanen shares practical ways to get started with prompting, drawn from hands-on work and intended for direct application.

The window of opportunity to build your AI competence is open now, but it will not remain open indefinitely. Start acting.

Decision infrastructure solves time poverty: clear decision rights, decision-ready evidence, and learning capture eliminate coordination waste - freeing analytical capacity for judgment at decision velocity.

Product Owners can help manage dependencies through the content and ordering of the Product Backlog. And unfortunately, a lot of them have to spend a lot of time doing this, because their products are defined too narrowly as component teams.

Emergent doesn’t mean “we’ll figure it out later.” It means reality will reveal new work, risks, and misunderstandings continuously—so you’d better make it visible to the team and the people receiving the work.

To get quality output from AI, you should know how to communicate with it effectively. Let's check 10 ways together.

Scrum is not an end unto itself. It's a great tool for helping a team focus on value, but the goal isn’t to “do Scrum.” The goal is to maximize value for the customer. Choosing the right metrics can help ensure that we are all focused on the right outcomes.

Das A3-Framework unterstützt Sie bei der Entscheidung, ob KI eine Aufgabe übernehmen sollte (Assist, Automate, Avoid). Der A3-Handoff-Canvas hilft Ihnen, dies ohne Qualitäts- oder Verantwortlichkeitsverlust durchzuführen.

Six Questions That Turn AI Delegation Into a Repeatable Workflow

Transparency isn’t a Jira board. It’s when everyone reads the same reality from your artifacts. This post shows why low transparency quietly drives bad decisions and risk—and gives you simple checks to spot “multiple meanings”

In Part 2 of this Q&A series stemming from questions in the webinar, Managing Your AI Teammate, Eric Naiburg continues the conversation with Darrell Fernandes, diving deeper into how AI is reshaping the way Scrum Teams work. (21:32 Minutes)

I find that when people start to actually use Scrum, they often forget that they are supposed to be a team. They assign each individual a task or Product Backlog Item, and then that individual goes off and works on it alone.

Scrum Masters (at least in my part of the world) are often people seeking the transition to the role of a ‘Manager’ or a management position. However, when they land into this role amongst a highly technical team, they become clueless. This is because the one thing that they were moving away from be...

Scrum Mastery is a craft that requires the right environment and a clear focus on the value chain to truly take off. Drawing from a decade of experience, PST Simon Flossmann shares five essential steps I wish I had known sooner to help you master the role and deliver real impact.

83% of Agile practitioners use AI, but most spend 10% or less of their time with it because they do not know where it fits. Learn more.

El enfoque de producto es una mentalidad que parte de centrarse en el cliente y sus necesidades para entregar valor de una manera ágil, flexible, adaptativa e innovadora. Es un cambio radical desde el enfoque de proyectos, que muchas veces se basa en hitos y tareas a cumplir dentro de un plan con un...

An order-taking Product Owner leads to backlog chaos and constant priority shifts. Learn why this behavior is a system issue and how teams can preserve clarity and self-management in this post by PST Robb Pieper.

Most people think of negotiation as a formal process, i.e., contracts, vendors, and high-stakes deals. The thing is that product leaders negotiate every day, for instance, with stakeholders, teams, leadership, sales, and so on. These small decisions shape product outcomes.
