The AI-Augmented Practitioner: Stop Prompting Like It's Google
“We have generic advice from lazy prompts and hours of manual admin toil. We want to have collaborative AI partners and automated workflows.”
Beyond the Hype
AI isn't replacing you, but a practitioner who uses it effectively will. Learn to engineer collaboration and automate the administration of work.
Role-Based Prompting
Most practitioners use AI like a search engine. Learn the structured prompting techniques behind "6 Ways You're Using ChatGPT Wrong"—and start getting outputs you can actually use.
Jira Automations
At a previous client, these techniques reduced cycle time by 40%. Automate manual handoffs and the "business of Scrum" so your team focuses on valuable work, not status updates.
One-Pizza Teams
Amazon calls them "two-pizza teams"—small enough to feed with two pizzas. Go smaller. Architect teams where AI handles research and drafting, automation handles administration, and humans handle decisions.
