TL; DR: Generative AI for Agile Coaches and Scrum Masters
Discover how generative AI can supercharge Agile coaching in high-pressure environments. This webinar presents a real-world scenario where traditional coaching fails and demonstrates how AI identifies emotional cues, contradictions, and recurring pain points hidden within team dynamics.
Learn from Stefan how to reduce cognitive load, make faster, evidence-based decisions, and ethically amplify your coaching impact. Bonus: The same techniques also accelerate product discovery:
Many companies adopt Agile practices like Scrum but fail to achieve true transformation. This “Agile Paradox” occurs because they implement tactical processes without changing their underlying command-and-control structure, culture, and leadership style.
True agility requires profound systemic changes to organizational design, leadership, and technical practices, not just performing rituals. Without this fundamental shift from “doing” to “being” agile, transformations stall, and the promised benefits remain unrealized.

TL; DR: Ethical AI or Risk?
Without ethical AI, Product Owners and Product Managers (PO/PMs) face a dilemma: balancing AI’s potential with its product discovery and delivery risks. Unchecked AI can introduce bias, compromise data, and erode empathy.
To navigate this, implement four guardrails: ensuring data privacy, preserving human value, validating AI outputs, and transparently attributing AI’s role. This approach transforms PO/PMs into ethical AI leaders, blending AI’s power with indispensable human judgment and empathy.
TL; DR: Is There a Need for the Scrum Guide Expansion Pack?
The Scrum Guide Expansion Pack represents a fascinating contradiction in the agile world. While attempting to cure Scrum’s reputation crisis, it may actually amplify the very problems it seeks to solve. Let me explain what this means for practitioners dealing with the aftermath of failed Scrum implementations.
Learn why many Product Owners and Managers worry about the wrong thing: saying no instead of saying yes to everything. This article reveals three systematic rejection techniques that strengthen stakeholder relationships while protecting product strategy to avoid that organizational incentives sabotage product strategy.
Discover how those drive feature demands, why AI prototyping complicates strategic decisions, and how transparent Anti-Product Backlog systems transform resistance into collaboration.
TL; DR: Johanna Rothman, Roman Pichler, and Maarten Dalmijn speaking at Hands-on Agile 2025
The third batch of videos of Hands-On Agile 2025 is in, and you don’t want to miss them: Johanna Rothman warns against fake “Agile,” urging a focus on genuine agility by choosing fit-for-purpose lifecycles and improving feedback loops. At the same time, Roman Pichler outlines five common product strategy mistakes and how to avoid them for better product outcomes, and Maarten Dalmijn highlights systemic blockers to empowered teams and advocates for shifting from rules to cultivating environments that enable high performance.
