AI is evolving from a productivity tool into an intelligent collaborator, transforming how organizations create products, make decisions, and deliver value. As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, Agile teams are entering a new era where roles, collaboration models, and ways of working are evolving.

The question is no longer whether AI will impact Agile—but how Agile itself evolves to thrive in the AI-native enterprise.

This session will explore the opportunities and challenges organizations face as they integrate AI into their ways of working, including the evolution of Agile teams, human-AI collaboration, responsible AI adoption, and the growing importance of governance, security, and compliance.

Join this thought-provoking discussion to gain strategic perspectives on preparing Agile teams, leaders, and organizations for the next evolution of agility in an AI-driven world.
