In this presentation, Dr Ali will explore the dynamic intersection of Generative AI (Gen AI) and Agile practices, focusing on how this synergy can drive innovation and efficiency in project management. I will begin by providing an overview of Gen AI, discussing its capabilities and potential applications within Agile frameworks. This section will highlight how Gen AI can streamline decision-making, automate routine processes, and introduce new opportunities for creativity and problem-solving within Agile teams.

Moving forward, he will then delve into the critical importance of soft skills in this evolving landscape. As Gen AI becomes more integrated into Agile methodologies, the need for solid communication, adaptability, and emotional intelligence within teams grows. Dr Ali will discuss how these soft skills complement the technical advancements brought by AI, ensuring that teams can effectively collaborate, manage change, and maintain a human-centred approach in their work.

Finally, he will present real-world examples and case studies that demonstrate the successful integration of Gen AI into Agile practices. These examples will illustrate the practical challenges and opportunities when combining advanced technology with human skills, emphasising the importance of balancing both to achieve optimal outcomes. By the end of the presentation, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how to harness the power of Gen AI while cultivating the soft skills necessary to lead Agile teams into the future.

When you think about the project on which you are working at the moment, ask yourself: how clear is the project vision? What are you expecting the world to look like once the project has delivered? What you think are the chances of success? How sustainable are the team’s working practices? How easy is it to share concerns, alternate viewpoints or even critical feedback with the team or the sponsor? Does the team have the capability and the capacity to deliver what’s being asked? What one thing could you do that would make the project better?

Now ask yourself: how often do we get to ask and answer these questions and are we able to share our responses anonymously, so we can be confident that everyone is expressing what they truly feel?

Getting stuff done doesn’t always go the way you hoped. And when you try to make it better or faster, sometimes that doesn’t work either! It can be frustrating, perplexing and downright infuriating, causing dysfunctions and behaviours that are the opposite of what we need.

Join us on 19th September at 5.30pm for an insight into why. Why sometimes the most well intentioned actions and interventions actually add to the problems – and what you could try instead.

In this workshop, you’ll make paper boats – yes you read that right, you’ll make paper boats. Through this process, you’ll learn about the theory of flow, Little’s Law and the Theory of constraints. These insights can help you to spot bottlenecks and blockers in your system AND know what to do about them.

It’s a lot of fun – and incredibly insightful.

Full origami training will be provided, previous experience not necessary.

The secret to gathering human-centric data from your project delivery team is: little and often (oh, and anonymously)! The secret to using that data to best effect is even more basic: share the team’s data with the whole team in as near real-time as possible. The secret to leveraging the insight that you will generate into action for team and the project, is to co-create activities and interventions involving them team. We have the data to prove it!
