Release Notes are not documentation. They are part of your product’s conversation with the world. In this blog, you will learn how to write effective Release Notes.

To move toward your ultimate goal, you need some mid-term steps called Product Goals. Here, I show you how to effectively create it with the power of AI.

The world isn’t slowing down. Technology is evolving faster than most organizations can keep up and we all know requirements are constantly changing. But we don’t need a better plan - we need better ways to learn, and we need to keep our options open.

A practical way to leverage AI to increase the Daily Scrum effectiveness.

KI-Agenten versprechen schon seit langem Produktivitätssteigerungen, aber bisher verlangten sie Programmierkenntnisse, die den meisten agilen Praktikern fehlen oder die sie nicht beherrschen. In diesem Artikel teile ich meine ersten Eindrücke darüber, wie Claude Cowork diese Barriere beseitigt.

Modern org charts were built for slow, one-way telegraph communication. Today's instant, multi-directional flow turns hierarchy into bottlenecks - slowing decisions, diluting insight, and killing innovation.

If you drive your car without a destination, you are NOWHERE at the end of the day. The Sprint Goal is the destination of your Sprint trip. You should learn how to effectively create it.

In this Q&A episode of the Scrum.org Community Podcast, Eric Naiburg, COO of Scrum.org, is joined by Darrell Fernandes, Executive Advisor at Scrum.org to explore how AI is showing up in Scrum Teams today—and what it really takes to make it valuable. (20:10)

Scrum is everywhere, but too often it’s not delivering the results leaders expect. Join PSTs Robb Pieper and Jason Malmstadt of Responsive Advisors and Scrum.org as they unpack the most common reasons Scrum fails to deliver real value.

The "Definition of Done" (DoD) is a core Scrum element. As teams integrate AI agents (like Devin or Cursor) into the Sprint, the DoD must evolve to include "hallucination checks" and "bias testing." This is a highly relevant, practical guide for modern Scrum Teams.

If you don't use the Definition of Done in your Scrum Team, read this blog.

Das A3-Rahmenwerk kategorisiert die KI-Delegation, bevor Sie diese veranlassen: Assist (KI entwirft, Sie überprüfen und entscheiden aktiv), Automate (KI führt nach expliziten Regeln und Prüfungskadenzen aus) oder Avoid (bleibt vollständig beim Menschen, wenn ein Versagen das Vertrauen oder eine Bezi...

How often have you heard the word Empiricism in connection with Scrum? I believe almost every time someone says Scrum, they do bring up Empiricism.

AI agents have long promised productivity gains, but until now, they demanded coding skills that most agile practitioners lack or are uncomfortable with. In this article, I share my first impressions on how Claude Cowork removes that barrier.

Free up your time to focus more on the human-centric and strategic activities as a Product Pro by leveraging AI Agents.

This blog explains how Product Goals set strategic direction while OKRs make progress measurable through behaviour focused Key Results. It shows how both tools support evidence based decisions, prevent output driven thinking, and help Scrum Teams stay aligned, learn faster, and deliver value with cl...

What will you get if you invest your time and money in learning AI?! Let's dissect it.

I'm sure you've all heard this one: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? It seems to me that a lot of organizations lately have changed this question to: If you don’t track your work with a ticket, did it really happen?

With your AI transformation, others perceive you differently in your professional network, which opens new doorways for you. But how?!

In diesem Artikel gibt PST Simon Flossmann 3 Gründe, warum Scrum Master sich zum Produkt-Coach entwickeln sollten

Stop asking 'Can AI do this?' Start asking 'Should AI do this?'

AI forces organizations to align machine speed with governance and funding. In doing so, it structurally closes Product Ownership's authority gap - distributed decisions, adaptive governance, and outcome funding become unavoidable.

Somewhere along the way, when "Agile Consultants" began rebranding the Scrum Master as exclusively a "Coach," the role became dangerously hands-off. The result? A generation of Scrum Masters who are disconnected from the reality of product development.

This case study examines through an Evidence-Based Management (EBM) lens what happens when teams operate on rebuilt technical foundations owned by their investor.

Temporary fixes are supposed to be temporary. That's why Technical Debt should be on the Product Owner's radar.

In my practice, I get the chance to talk to a lot of different individuals from many organizations. Here are some of the things that really stood out to me about 2025.

AI changes what work is visible. It does not change what matters in work.

AI is closing the Product Owner data gap by accident. Revenue accountability finally meets real-time access - but decision rights, funding, and governance still lag. Dashboards don't equal authority.

In vielen Unternehmen hängen die Werte und Prinzipien des Agilen Manifests (wenn überhaupt) irgendwo an der Wand – zwischen Vision-Statement und Kaffeeküche. Gelebt werden sie selten. Stattdessen wird Scrum eingeführt wie ein neues Prozesshandbuch: Meetings ersetzen Denken, Jira ersetzt Verantwortun...

The Scrum Guide is short—but every word is packed with intent. In this series, we explore its language one post at a time, connecting each phrase to real-world professional Scrum practice. You’ll never look at “collective intelligence” or “relationships and interactions” the same way again.

Many organizations bought Microsoft Copilot and “turned it on” without changing how they actually work. In APOM terms, Copilot is stuck inside a project‑centric operating model. This post shows how treating “Copilot enablement” as a product with its own Agile Product Operating Model can turn license...

Singapore ranks 4th globally in innovation, yet teams hesitate on experiments. The paradox? The system is pro-innovation, but individuals can't afford visible mistakes. Here's what research reveals about risk aversion and true agility in Singapore.

All the first steps you need to know to start your AI journey in product management.

Product leaders own revenue, but many companies still run feature factories—leaving Product Owners accountable without the authority, data, or stable teams to deliver. Fixing it requires outcome-based governance and Evidence-Based Management measurement.

There’s an old expression, don’t gild the lily. It means to try not to over decorate something that’s already beautiful on its own. Sometimes I want to tell a Product Owner that I am working with not to gild the lily by overloading their requirements with solutions.

92% of organizations are increasing AI investment, yet only 1% achieve operational integration - not because of technology, but because they're running AI on industrial-age operating systems designed for stability, not evolution.

A step-by-step guide for Product Owners on using AI to precisely transfer feature specs to Developers.

Stella Ihenacho - COO/Agile Coach at NSTAR Technologies sits down with Eric Naiburg, COO of Scrum.org, to explore one of today’s most pressing questions: Is Agile still relevant in a world shaped by AI and rapid change? (10:05 Minutes)

In diesem Artikel erklärt PST Simon Flossmann die am häufigsten übersehene Aufgabe eines Product-Owners

Most organizations measure AI adoption, not synchronization - focusing on usage instead of how well AI speed, Agile speed, and organizational speed align to create real business value.

Most organisations do not fail at agility because of their teams. They fail because their operating model quietly pulls them back to the Industrial assumptions they are trying to escape. The structures, metrics and leadership habits designed for stable, predictable work remain in place, no matter ho...

In this episode of the Scrum.org Community Podcast, host Dave West sits down with authors Sander Dur and Ryan Brook to explore their new book, The Anatomy of a Product—a practical field guide that uses the human body as a metaphor to demystify modern product management. (30:22 Minutes)

Government has frameworks and governance, but lacks the essential capability that ties strategy to delivery: product leadership. Without clear ownership, outcome focus, or strategic authority, teams default to reactive project behaviour. Professionalising product leadership would create coherent dir...

This blog post addresses the confusion around the Product Owner accountability in Scrum. It clarifies that a Product Owner is a set of accountabilities, not just a job title, and that their core purpose is to maximize the value of the product delivered by the Scrum Team. Ultimately, Product Ownershi...

What Agile practitioners knew about AI adoption - and why traditional change management was solving yesterday's problem

The Anatomy of a Product explores products as living systems, revealing how to diagnose and improve every part, from vision to delivery. Using metaphors, practical tools, and real-world stories, it helps product teams think clearly, collaborate better, and build healthier, more purposeful products.

In diesem Artikel erklärt PST Simon Flossmann, wie Scrum Master ihre Product Owner bei der Maximierung des Wertes unterstützen können.

81% of Singapore businesses use Agile, but 57% say their teams don't understand it. Discover the real cost of bad Agile implementations and how to spot the warning signs before it's too late.

AI won't make product managers obsolete - but it will expose who has been doing real strategic thinking and who has been hiding behind administrative tasks. The future belongs to Cognitive Orchestrators who set intent, shape ethical constraints, and elevate decision quality - not passive reviewers o...

One of the core aspects of Product Ownership is to create alignment across everyone who is involved with the product in some way. A great way to do this is to establish a compelling Product Vision, a strategic objective that helps everyone to envision the future of the product.  The problem usually...
