Having put the final nail in the coffin of Agile with his last talk at the Agile Tour Vienna, Conor now focuses his acerbic wit on the latest existential threat to managers and developers alike – Artificial Intelligence! More specifically, that companies armed only with a battalion of bots, a handful of developers and no middle managers will deliver enterprise-grade software for the price of a few tokens! What can go wrong? And more to the point, what can be done about this impending AI apocalypse?
Conor will take us on a light-hearted tour of how we unwillingly got into this situation, the unrealistic expectations around the AI-driven development lifecycle, the implications for various roles and some scenarios for the future. Needless to say, there will be helpful tips for how to be seen as AI-native without actually being AI-native!
Come see Conor and find out how everyone – well, a few at least! – can survive the AI transformation and still keep their jobs!
Robert (aka Conor McConor) has been knocking around in IT for over 25 years as various roles from developer to project manager and everything in between. His initial experience with agile on a team level were very positive. However, for the last 10 years, he has been knee-deep in messy real-life “agile transformations”. That’s long enough to be called an agile coach, but not long enough to actually see a successful agile transformation! Despite this, Robert has never written a book, never been an international keynote speaker and won’t be starting a podcast anytime soon. He is however guilty of writing the odd blog post and drawing a comic strip or two about his experiences.
