Great article. I have been working with my SVP to ensure he understands this, as well as helping our PMs understand this too! Thank you!

This is spot on. AI can handle technical tasks, but it can't replace the human understanding of what users actually need. Great party of people skills!

I completely agree! Yesterday, I witnessed Oracle laying off 300 employees. It’s disheartening. Honestly, the role extended beyond writing stories and facilitating cross-functional collaboration. It encompassed the context, clarity, streamlined execution, and the results that often go unnoticed when making such decisions.

I fully agree, Mike! It’s easy to write user stories in the desired format. But that says nothing about whether the content of the ticket is valuable.

Absolutely. They can't get rid of us just yet right??
