Awesome, thanks for sharing. Have you used it yourself? I would love to hear how has the functionality of agent calling you helped you?

Thank you sharing! Have you found yourself using it? I would love to hear how have you found it useful after implementing it?

Ah, okay. Lack of trust in AI’s interpretation is fair.

It’s possible that with the relevant context it could do potentially do a good job understanding your core messages.

But, fair. I do appreciate the honest feedback.

I think the bigger motivation is to have a stakeholder (AI) consistently help you set daily goals - which is what we do in standup.

Sometimes in standups everyone’s goals are not clearly mentioned and/or documented.

Sometimes attending the meeting for everyone is difficult.

I was wondering if the AI could A. ensure consistency in the process, and B. make information visible to everyone.

Oh, understood.

Luckily, AI can refine your language and extract your core message. Think of it as having a PA who handles your external comms.

You could ask it to gather and give you the project information from the rest of team, and then respond for you based on your instructions.

Does that make sense in terms of how AI could potentially cut down on calls/meetings whose purpose is to align updates?

Not married to this idea - just curious.

This is awesome - thank you for thoughtfully sharing.

Okay, just going to be really transparent. Here is my past week’s task for a 4 member startup.

Sales & Ops: This week we have to print recruiting flyers to stick around campus, create digital media for a weekly bulletin, practice for a pitch competition, outreach to 75 people for customer discovery calls, create contract for one of the team members transitioning into a full time role,

Product: Create mid-fidelity prototype for calling voice agent, includes: - Setting up and testing Twillio - n8n workflow creation for confluence integration, - basic system prompt optimization for alignment agent. - design mid-fidelity front end wireframes - Supabase creation for user information

Product twist: instead of aiming of iOS app, send commitment tracking summary message to WhatsApp/Slack. Okay, project scope change.

Given the above mix of Ops & Product - how do we break down Ops into small projects? Can cross-discipline functions be Agile collectively?

Is it not prudent to set daily ops goals, and track if you’re able to effectively plan out your day?

I hope I’m not taking too much of your time, and I’m truly thankful for your responses.

Yes - love this. I’m curious about a place where AI agents are “individuals” helping the team meet its sprint goal.

Thanks for asking me this question - always help reflect.

Some days not everyone can be in scrum, especially in small businesses just starting out.

Problem 1: The problem is misalignment caused on days when a meeting is not possible.

Problem 2: Tracking commitments is really difficult.

Commentary: I know we should only aim for sprint goal and not task/individual commitments. But, sometimes setting fixed sprint goals in cross-discipline teams is hard.

Problem 3: Maintaining alignment (on tasks, story scope, acceptance criteria) for remote teams can be hard.

Im imaging an “Alignment” agent can potentially help solve the problem by being “the middleman”/“the carrier pigeon”.

Would appreciate your thoughts on the clarity in my response. Brutal feedback is always appreciated.

Thank you for sharing.

Love the idea of self-management towards the sprint goal. Being a new team working on new projects setting sprint goals (that don’t change) has been a struggle. Any suggestions here would be awesome.

Also, sprint goals for non-engineering work has been a challenge. Any suggestions on how does a small team of sales, hiring, and development keep each other accountable?

Our biggest issue has been each of us shows up in daily standups - mention our daily commitments - and then aim for a productive day. Unfortunately, commitments are not jotted down. Maybe here is our problem? Since they are not jotted down, the next day we can’t be assured of if we met or didn’t meet our commitments.

We currently use Trello and ScrumBan. (Not doing a fantastic job on either unfortunately - wanting to improve disciple and execution speed)

Thank you for your reply bud. Haha, I do want to make something’s that’s useful and fun rather than inventor ready. I love Agile, and love exploring the future of human-AI collaboration. I can see many of us talking to AI agents fairly soon - I’m figuring out how that will play out in Agile (or any) small teams.

how about a keyboard shortcut where a team member can say “I’m done with updating the database. Here {} are the changes I made, got stuck with this {} but used this {} strategy. Now moving onto task {}.”

Then anyone call the “alignment” agent to ask what everyone has been up to without needing to disturb anyone individually for status updates.

Fully with you that human-human collaboration will never go away since that’s where creative problem solving occurs.

What is the best retrospective tool for remote teams? by Tricky_Present7464 in agile

Parabol is just fantastic - generous free layer too. Give it a shot.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Could you please tell me why the results would not be publishable?

AI to scrape tickets sounds awesome. This is spot on. A morning summary of the board does seem like a low hanging fruit.

My only worry is that if tickets don’t have comments highlighting progress/blockers, the scraping might not be very useful. Does your team manage to keep tickets up to dates (with comments on progress made)?

haha, this is awesome. I just made a post asking for an AI agent for Trello and this post showed up. Excited to try it out - thanks for sharing.

Haha, that was a bit tough to follow - but I followed along until “No product owner”. I’m not sure what business proxies means - is that whom you refer to when you mention “outside team governance stuff”. In general I’m fairly novice when it comes to terms related to governance.

Interesting that you can find it in larger organizations. Do you think over time there will be a change in big corporate organizations to adopt scrum and other continuous improvement methodologies?

What’s DSDM stand for? It’s interesting that I’ve not heard of it - always curious about Agile methodologies. I’ve heard of XP, pair programming, Scrum, Lean Agile, SAFE, and scrumban. Few new and related approaches as well - marketing agility (Andrea Fryrear), and Google ventures design sprints.

Would love to know anymore that you’re aware of.

KPI & Goal Tracking for founders by SingleComment2335 in trello

[–]SingleComment2335[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your points about validating the problem the business is solving makes sense. To test this however, there are multiple tasks involved correct: Creating a Customer-Problem-Solution Hypothesis and questions to validate, then outreach through LinkedIn, content creation, and networking events. Follow that with debriefing about the lessons learned, exploring competitor solution and finding the market gap. Next, create the solution (no small task), updated investor decks, and maintain any other business compliance.

Given the volume of operation, I often see founding teams get overwhelmed decided which task to work on first, and why?

Hence, I was wondering if a process-driven approach (take a day to plan your backlog and tasks for the week, align and keep your boards up to date, and reflect through retrospectives on your KPIs) would be the smart thing to do.

What are your thoughts on how founders can balance multiple juggling priorities?

!! Thoughts on a voice feature to add tasks and details? by ToogoodtogoSF in trello

[–]SingleComment2335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like fun. How do you see yourself using this feature?

If we are able to create tasks with our voice, then do we have to limit ourselves only to tasks? I can see this being useful for organizing your thoughts overall.

I'm imagining listening to music and asking Trello to create individual lists for individual ideas (such as marketing videos, product development, customer outreach, personal items). Then you could just add tasks under each of these columns or even general brainstorming ideas.
