Tectonic plates are shifting in the agile world. You’ve probably felt the tremors: unlikely industry forces are joining together, agentic AI is threatening to replace team roles, agile coaches are being dismissed in droves, there’s been a measurable increase in online criticism of SAFe. I could go on, but I won’t. The bottom line is this: as an Agile practitioner, you’d be forgiven for bracing yourself for an existential earthquake. Will your role still be in demand in 5 years’ time? Will agile principles and practices get blended into textbooks next to RAID logs and RACI charts? Will AI care about prioritizing people over process? And if not, what was it all for?

Your questions are valid. So let’s help you build your readiness kit. In this session, we’re going to be discussing insights from our conversations with leading agile professionals within this community and then distilling that into a roadmap for succeeding in multiple future scenarios. We’ll round out by zeroing in on the key skills to focus on today to be relevant tomorrow.
