AI and the Agile Gamer Mindset: Embracing the “New Meta”

Chris Diller and Dan Bliss

In the world of gaming, a new release means a “new meta”: rule changes that transform the strategies and tactics that lead to victory.

AI is creating a new meta for Agile teams. Failing to adapt will lead to stagnation. But you can use the techniques of good gamers to make the new rules enabling constraints and exploit them to boost the competitive advantage of your organization (and its customers).

Chris and Dan will share with you their Agile Gamer Mindset and show you how to leverage curiosity, iterative rule-testing, failure, and fun to adapt your practices and tools to the new landscape being created by AI.
