TL; DR: The Advanced Product Backlog Management Course v2 w/ AI — Out on July 15, 2025
The Advanced Product Backlog Management Course with AI is available on July 15th, 2025, at $99 with free lifetime access to all updates. It cuts through AI hype to address real product management challenges.
Instead of treating AI as a silver bullet, it examines how Generative AI and LLMs genuinely improve Product Backlog management versus when they’re expensive distractions. It uses the practical HealthXYZ startup scenario to distinguish value-adding AI applications from organizational theater, perfect for teams ready to confront uncomfortable truths about their current backlog dysfunction.
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.
