“Agile is dead.” You’ve heard it. Maybe you’ve even said it yourself after watching another transformation fail, another team burned out, another organization abandons Agile.
In this pragmatic guide, veteran Agile coach Sheila Eckert cuts through the noise of frameworks, buzzwords, and false promises to show what real agility looks like in the age of artificial intelligence. Drawing on decades of experience coaching teams and leaders, Sheila Eckert offers a candid, practical guide for modern organizations struggling to adapt.
This isn’t another book promising that the right framework will solve all your problems. Instead, you’ll discover:
- Why Agile “failures” are really misunderstandings of what agility requires (hint: it’s not about perfect Scrum ceremonies)
- Toxic anti-patterns killing your agility —from Feature Factory Syndrome to Innovation Theater—and practical fixes for each
- How to escape metric madness that turns velocity into a weapon and predictability into rigidity
- The real secret to empowered teams that goes beyond lip service to create genuine autonomy with alignment
- How AI changes everything (and nothing) about Agile—amplifying human capabilities without replacing human judgment
- Battle-tested techniques for sustaining agility over time, preventing the inevitable drift back to old patterns
Through real-world examples, sharp insights, and pragmatic tools, Agile Meets AI helps teams and leaders evolve beyond frameworks to something more resilient and valuable: true agility.
Whether you’re a developer, product manager, Scrum Master, or leader, this book will challenge assumptions, spark reflection, and equip you to thrive in a world where adaptability and intelligence (both human and artificial) define success.
Stop going through the Agile motions. Start delivering real value. Your journey to genuine agility starts here.
