Image Every Scrum Team wishes they had time each Sprint to accomplish more. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), teams can get that time back and become more effective. AI is revolutionizing various industries, and its potential to enhance how people and teams work is becoming increasingly evident. The term “co-pilot” used most often by Microsoft is a great one as it lends a competent “right-hand” to enhance the abilities of a professional.

In an ideal world, everyone would be able to do great work, get rewarded fairly, and have a realistic workload. Unfortunately, that’s not the reality most of us live in. With the harsh economic conditions of the past few years, companies have been forced to do more with less — leaving employees exhausted, frustrated, and overworked. It’s no wonder that a recent study found that 53% of people regularly feel overworked, leading them to suffer stress-related consequences.

Problems during a project are a given, and solving them in real time while maintaining project progress is a real challenge. Risks are a bit different than issues; risks are issues that haven’t happened yet.

Introduction Reverse planning involves a mature organization starting with the project’s end date state and working backward in time. PMs begin by identifying the last task, the next to last task, and so on. They continue until they reach the task that begins the project. It answers the question – Where do we eventually want to be? Bottom line: you want to focus on what you want to achieve, then use that to build a last-to-first plan of action.
