AI in Our
Ways of WorkingMission Brief

From "AI is a thing" to "here's how we work differently,
starting tomorrow."

Today's plan

Agenda

By the end of today: a shared picture of how AI fits our rituals, live examples, and a team contract with concrete experiments to run next sprint.

0:00🗺️Block 1 — AI Usage Heatmap (20 min) — Where are we already using AI? Where could we?

0:20🔍Block 2 — Deep Dives (35 min) — Go deep on the rituals that matter most

0:55💻Block 3 — Live Demos (25 min) — Real prompts, real outputs, real reactions

1:20📝Block 4 — Team AI Contract (30 min) — Commit to 2–3 shared experiments next sprint

1:50🎬Close (5 min) — What happens next

Before we start

Ground Rules

1

No judgment

There's no right answer on AI usage. Some people use it daily, some haven't tried it. Both are fine starting points.

2

Experiments over perfection

We're not deciding AI policy today. We're running small, reversible experiments. Low risk, high learning.

3

Real examples only

No hypotheticals. If you tried something, say what happened. If you're sceptical, say why specifically.

The single guiding question for today

Not "is AI useful?" — but "how does it fit the way we specifically work, right now?"

🗺️ AI Usage Heatmap

🟢 Using AI 🟡 Could help 🔴 Doesn't fit

Click each cell to cycle. Goal: surface hidden usage and build a shared picture of the team's baseline.

Ritual

Block 2 · 35 min

🔍 Ritual Deep Dives

Groups of mixed roles go deep on one ritual each. Use the heatmap results to pick the rituals with the most signal.

Format

Form groups of 3–4 with mixed roles (FE + BE + PM)
Each group gets one ritual from the next slide
10 min discussion, then 3 min presentation back to the room

Three questions for each ritual:

1What's the most painful or repetitive part today?

2What could AI do before / during / after this ritual?

3What's the risk or limit — what should AI NOT do?

Block 2 · Ritual reference cards

Block 3 · 25 min

💻 Live Demos

Real prompt. Real output. Live and imperfect. The goal is not to impress — it's to spark "I could actually use this."

Format

3 demos from the heatmap's most-voted rituals
Open your AI tool — use a real ticket, epic, or retro board
After each demo: "Would you actually use this? Why / why not?"

⚙️ Facilitator prep

Open your AI tool now. Have a real JIRA ticket, a user story, or a retro board ready to paste. The next slide has copy-ready prompts.

Block 3 · Prompt library

📋 Ready-to-Use Prompts

Copy, paste, and replace the [PLACEHOLDERS]. Run live, then debrief.

Block 4 · 15 min

📝 Team AI Contract

Each person completes their row out loud. The group listens without interrupting. Then we align on shared experiments on the next slide.

Transition: We've heard each person's commitment and concern. Now let's turn those into 2–3 shared experiments we actually run next sprint.

Block 4 · 15 min · Team activity

🧪 Shared Experiments

Agree on 2–3 experiments to run next sprint. Small, observable, reversible. Each needs an owner and a check-in date.

What we'll try How we'll know it worked Check-in date Owner

Example: "AI drafts ticket descriptions before refinement — team reviews together. We check at the next retro: did it save time? Did quality improve?"

That's a wrap. 🧠

What happens next

📄

Contract is shared

Publish to Confluence before end of day.

🚀

Experiments start next sprint

Each owner kicks off their experiment. Keep it small and reversible.

🔁

Retro check-in

Did it work? What changes? V2 of the contract in 4 weeks.
