AI is already changing how we work—and how we work together. In this episode, Dr. Michael Housman joins Brian Milner to explore how AI is reshaping team collaboration, decision-making, and the very structure of Agile teams.

Overview

We keep talking about AI like it’s something that’s coming. But as Dr. Michael Housman points out, it’s already here—embedded in our tools, shaping how we collaborate, and quietly shifting the makeup of our teams.

In this episode, Brian sits down with Dr. Housman, CTO, keynote speaker, and author of the upcoming Future Proof: Transform Your Business with AI or Get Left Behind, to talk about what AI is already doing in Agile environments. From how it’s helping Scrum Masters level up decision-making to how it might literally join your org chart, they dig into what’s helpful, what’s hype, and what leaders need to pay attention to right now.
