"The Convergence" is a future facing discussion about the profound impact of AI on Agile Product Delivery roles, ushering in an era where AI Transformations become the focal point, surpassing the current realms of Agile and Digital Transformation approaches. This session will dissect the expected evolution of key team roles, showcasing how currently compartmentalised roles will converge into new hybrid forms. We will focus on specific roles, including Engineers, Product Managers, UX Designers, and Delivery Managers, providing practical examples and case studies to illustrate these anticipated changes.

The session will explore how AI is becoming an integral part of the toolkit for all people involved in Product Delivery roles. Software Engineers will reduce “time to value” with practices such as AI pairing and rapid in-line quality assurance. Product Managers will discover new avenues for data driven decision-making and strategy formulation as they navigate a transformed landscape influenced by AI insights. UX Designers will experience an evolution in their roles by aligning human-centric design and rapid prototyping with the technological advancements brought by AI. Delivery Managers will gain deeper insight into commercial and delivery risks with the use of AI tooling to analyse and forecast the potential successful outcomes.

We will discuss how “The Convergence” of roles is going to change our approach to shaping team capabilities, how it will increase in speed with which teams will need to form / reform, and how this will significantly alter the daily activity of people in these fluid micro teams.

In parallel, we will delve into the implications of this shift, where Agile and Digital transformations are rapidly surpassed by AI Transformation. The session will underscore how AI-driven strategies redefine success metrics and how the Value Delivery Life Cycle (VDLC) emerges as the cornerstone of AI Transformations.
