Application of Generative AI Technology in Scrum
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into Agile frameworks, specifically Scrum, is revolutionising how teams approach software development and project management. Generative AI, a subset of AI capable of producing text, images, code, and more, offers significant advantages in improving Scrum processes. By automating repetitive tasks, enhancing collaboration, and facilitating decision-making, generative AI is transforming the Scrum landscape. This paper explores the application and use of generative AI technology in Scrum, supported by real-world examples and academic references. Included in this paper are a significant amount of links to external resources, so if you don’t find your answers here, you can look further.
Artefacts, roles, and events are all being transformed through the use of new Ai tools. In terms of artefacts, these tools can analyse sprint backlog trends, suggest backlog prioritisation based on historical data, and track progress on the product increment using predictive analytics. For roles, AI supports Scrum Masters by identifying bottlenecks, automating reporting, and providing sentiment analysis on team dynamics, while Product Owners can use these new tools for data-driven backlog management and customer insights. Within Scrum events, AI-driven assistants can summarise discussions from Sprint Planning, identify blockers from Daily Scrums, generate stakeholder reports for Sprint Reviews, and analyse trends in Sprint Retrospectives to suggest actionable improvements.
