Agile² has come about because of our realisation that AI is already disrupting traditional IT development, the pace of this disruption is accelerating. Generative AI such as GPT, Claude, CO-Pilot and Gemini which use Large Language Models are already assisting Product Owners and developers.

The acceleration from ideation to value delivery is particularly notable. These tools are helping product owners articulate requirements more clearly, generating code scaffolding, suggesting implementations, helping debug issues, and automating repetitive tasks that previously consumed significant developer time.

It’s an exciting transition period for the industry. Agile methodologies revolutionised software development by emphasising adaptability and incremental delivery. Now with AI-assisted development, we’re seeing another potential step-change in how quickly teams can deliver value.
