At Sprightbulb, we’re always looking ahead. So let’s explore how AI might shake things up in project management—and why that’s actually a great thing for Agile teams.
Most product and delivery professionals are aware of AI… to say the least. They’ve used ChatGPT, read the think pieces (and horror stories), and sat through at least one all-hands where a leader talked about the importance of “embracing AI.” Awareness is not the problem. The problem is the gap between knowing AI exists and … Read more

The funny tech news stories are hard to miss: the chatbot that gave dangerous advice, the AI-generated summary that completely fabricated a fact, the product that confidently delivered a wrong answer to thousands of users.
