  • 60 ChatGPT Prompts Plus Prompt Engineering Guide for Scrum Practitioners

    TL; DR: 60 ChatGPT Prompts for Agile Practitioners

    ChatGPT can be an excellent tool for those who know how to create prompts. The simplest form of prompting ChatGPT is to feed it the task and ask for results. However, this approach is unlikely to trigger the best response from the model.

    Instead, invest more time in prompt engineering, and provide ChatGPT with a better context of the situation, desired outcomes, data, constraints, etc. The following article offers a primer to creating ChatGPT prompts for Scrum practitioners to get you started running. You will learn:

    • Prompt engineering basics
    • Prompt engineering with services like PromptPerfect
    • Using ChatGPT for prompt engineering. (Yub, that works, too.)

  • ChatGPT Product Owner Job Interview — Will You Compete for a Position w/ an LLM Soon?

    TL; DR: ChatGPT Product Owner Job Interview

    A few weeks ago, I ran a simulated job interview with ChatGPT for a fictitious Scrum Master position. Admittedly, I would not have invited this “interviewee” for an interview with other team members; however, the interview produced some remarkable answers. Consequently, I tried the same with a Product Owner position, aware of the challenges this would pose, as the Product Owner role is significantly fuzzier than the one of a Scrum Master. So, I took a few questions from the Hiring: 82 Scrum Product Owner Interview Questions guide and ran a ChatGPT Product Owner job interview.

    Read on and learn whether a statistical model will challenge product people in the near future.

  • ChatGPT Prompts for Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Developers

    TL; DR: ChatGPT Prompts for Scrum Practitioners

    Last week, I ran an “interview” with ChatGPT as an applicant for a fictitious Scrum Master position based on questions from Scrum Master Interview Guide. (See below.) While the overall results were broadly acceptable, I thought that changing the ChatGPT prompts might deliver better results. So, this time, I chose to present ChatGPT with three everyday scenarios based on more comprehensive prompts. Lo and behold, it worked very well.

    Think twice if you still believe this technology is a fad or a toy. Instead, grab a cup of coffee and read for yourself.

  • Your Unfit Product Goal and the Product Goal Canvas — Making Your Scrum Work (28)

    TL; DR: Your Unfit Product Goal and the Product Goal Canvas

    We plan a lot in Scrum: There is a daily plan when the Developers think about progressing toward the Sprint Goal during the Daily Scrum. Of course, the Sprint Goal reflects an intermediate target the Scrum team considers valuable to solve their customers’ problems. Moreover, there is the Product Goal, a mid- or long-term objective of the Scrum team.

    The problem is that when Scrum teams already struggle with embracing the concept of the Sprint Goal—first, you agree on the objective of the Sprint, then you pick the work you consider necessary to accomplish it—they most likely also struggle with proper Product Goals.

    Let’s check three critical issues Scrum teams have with Product Goals and a practical tool that helps you avoid the mess.

  • The Product Backlog: 14 First Principles to Help Your Scrum Team Succeed

    TL; DR: Product Backlog Principles

    Contrary to popular belief, the Product Owner does not have dictatorial powers regarding the composition and order of the Product Backlog. Instead, Scrum as a framework is based on a delicate system of checks and balances, collaboration, and joint decision-making to mitigate risk; for example, the Product Owner falling in love with their solution over the problem of the customers. Learn more about critical Product Backlog principles, from the size and growth of the Product Backlog to whether a Product Backlog is necessary in the first place. (Some lean practitioners dispute its existence is justified.)
