The course’s relation to agility.

We as agilists are in a prime position to work with AI because of our skills in adaptation, and responding to change. AI can analyze vast amounts of data to provide insights, predictions, and recommendations that aid decision-making in Agile projects. AI-powered tools can facilitate better communication and collaboration among Agile team members, providing real-time updates, virtual assistants, and intelligent project management tools. AI works best when utilizing agile practices like iterative experiments, fail/fast and story structure prompting.
