Start with the pain, not the tech. If your AI initiative opens with “What can AI do?”, you’re already lost. Workshops should focus on defining and prioritising problems, ensuring AI investments align with real needs and reducing waste.
Ask yourself: what hurts enough to fix?

Developers who hide behind tech debt aren’t “moving fast.”
They’re digging a hole they’ll have to climb out of later.
Speed without direction is just chaos.
A Product Owner treating the backlog like a spec list isn’t “managing scope.”
They’re avoiding accountability for value.
If the work isn’t producing value, what are we doing?
A Scrum Master who won’t challenge poor practices isn’t “servant-leading.”
They’re letting the team fail slowly.
That’s not facilitation. That’s abdication.
The three accountabilities in Scrum aren't suggestions:
The Scrum Master ensures Scrum is applied effectively.
The Product Owner maximises value.
The Developers deliver a Done Increment every Sprint.
If one breaks down, Scrum collapses.
Scrum isn’t a process. It’s a social technology designed to expose dysfunction.
Not to make people comfortable, but to make reality visible.
Not to follow best practices, but to challenge them.
Scrum isn’t about best practices.
It’s about exposing uncomfortable truths so we can inspect and adapt.
The question is:
Are we using Scrum to evolve—or just going through the motions?
