I keep seeing “Agile is dead” headlines, now repackaged for the AI era. My take: AI isn’t killing Agile. AI is illuminating constraints that were already in the value stream.
AI can do market research, write documentation, write code fast - it can’t take accountability. As AI compresses execution time, rebundles responsibilities, and enables smaller teams with faster release cycles, the real work shifts to human judgment: decision-making, validation, security, governance, and operating safely in production.
This episode reframes Agile and agility as an enduring capability, and explores what must evolve when software delivery accelerates dramatically with AI.
