AI for Project Managers, Scrum Masters & Agile Delivery Leads

Too many teams, not enough you? Whether you’re a project or programme manager, scrum master or agile delivery lead, in one focused free hour you’ll watch a real, messy multi-team situation get taken apart with AI: the root cause found, the graphs leadership wants built, and a three-week plan drafted. You’ll see every step, so you can do it yourself afterwards.

Who this is for

This masterclass is for the people holding delivery together across more than one team, and feeling stretched thin doing it: project and programme managers, Scrum Masters, Release Train Engineers, Agile Delivery Managers and Kanban leads. If you’re constantly asked “why is this late?” and “what’s the plan?” and you never quite have the hours to dig into the data and answer properly, this is built for you.

What makes this different

It’s built around your mess, not a tidy demo

Anyone can show you a slick example where AI spits out a perfect chart. That’s not this. We work a real, tangled, five-team situation, the messy kind that actually keeps delivery leads up at night, and you see every decision along the way, including the wrong turns. The skill isn’t typing a clever prompt; it’s preparing your data, judging whether the AI is right, keeping your information safe, and turning it all into something you can act on. That’s what we spend the hour on.

The diagnosis we’ll build together, live

This is a real diagnosis, built with AI from one delivery lead’s messy, five-team data. In the hour you’ll see exactly how this picture gets produced, step by step, so you can carry on and do it for your own teams afterwards:

Throughput trend by team, three pods declining

Throughput is sliding. Three of the five pods deliver less each sprint, not more, but which ones, and why?

Cycle time by team, Cobalt climbing

Cycle time is climbing. Cobalt’s work now takes 21 days and is dragging the whole programme with it.

Work in progress by team, Cobalt far over the limit

The cause becomes visible. Cobalt is holding 27 items at once, three to four times a healthy limit.

Dependency map showing Cobalt as the constraint

And it’s structural. Every critical path runs through Cobalt, so one team stalls the revenue feature.

Then AI drafts the three-week plan to fix it and turns the whole thing into a leadership presentation. That entire flow is what you’ll learn to run yourself, on your own numbers.

What we’ll do in the hour

A worked example, start to finish, with time to ask questions at every step:

First 10 minutes
What “good” looks like
We start with the trap most people fall into, using AI like a toy, and what it looks like to use it as a genuine delivery tool. You’ll see the finished output you’re working towards, so you know exactly where the hour is taking you.
Next 15 minutes
Getting delivery data ready
The single thing that decides whether AI gives you gold or garbage is how you prepare what you feed it. We take a real anonymised export, from Jira, Azure DevOps or a simple spreadsheet, and get it into a shape the AI can actually reason about. This is the bit no demo ever shows you.
Next 20 minutes
Root cause, and the graphs leadership wants
We interrogate a messy, multi-team situation live, separating symptoms from causes rather than accepting the first confident answer, then turn it into throughput, cycle time and dependency charts that land in a leadership room. You’ll also see how to check the AI’s reasoning, because knowing when it’s wrong is the skill that keeps you safe.
Final 15 minutes
Your questions, and how to repeat it safely
What you should and shouldn’t paste in, how to keep client and company data protected, and how to save this as a reusable project and prompt set so you can run it yourself. Bring your questions and we’ll put them to the group.

What you’ll walk away with

Not notes for “someday”, a method you can run yourself on Monday:

  • The method for diagnosing a stalling multi-team programme with AI
  • How to get leadership-ready graphs out of messy delivery data
  • How a root cause becomes a sequenced three-week plan
  • A reusable prompt set you can point at your own teams
  • The judgement to know when the AI is right, and when it’s wrong
  • A clear, safe way to work that protects your company’s data

What you’ll need

  • Nothing but an hour and your attention. I bring the scenario, the data and the prompts. You don’t have to prepare anything, export anything, or clear it with anyone.
  • A free Claude, ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot account, whichever you prefer, if you want to follow along live. The free tiers are all you need, and I’ll help anyone who hasn’t set one up.
  • The situation that’s bugging you, in your head. You won’t need to share it, but you’ll get far more out of the hour if you’re mapping every step onto your own teams as we go.

No company data leaves your laptop, because you don’t need to bring any. If you want help with your own numbers afterwards, that’s what the clinics and one-to-one sessions are for.

New to this? You’re in exactly the right place. You don’t need to be technical and you don’t need any AI experience. I’ve trained over 2,000 people and I teach in plain English, step by step, and every question gets answered. You’ll leave able to do this on your own.

Nothing to lose by coming along.

The session is free, so there’s no decision to agonise over: register a seat, come along, and see the approach for yourself. If it turns out not to be for you, you’ve lost an hour and gained a few prompts. Got a question first? Message me and I’ll answer it.

Meet your trainer

Mickey Meaker

I’m Mickey Meaker, 25+ years in senior management and Agile coaching, and more than 2,000 professionals trained. I’ve run delivery across tangled, multi-team programmes myself, so this masterclass is the shortcut I wish I’d had: the AI skills that give you back your evenings and make you the person your teams can’t run without.

Common questions

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. If you can read a chart and type a sentence, you can follow everything in this session. I walk through each step live and explain the reasoning as I go.

Which AI tools do we use?

Whichever you prefer, Claude, ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot. The techniques are the same across all three, so if your organisation runs on Copilot you’ll be right at home. The free tiers are absolutely fine for the masterclass; you don’t need a paid subscription to take part.

Is my company’s data safe?

Completely, because none of it is involved. We work from my scenario, so nothing of yours is shared or uploaded. I’ll also show you exactly what’s safe to use and what to keep out when you come to do this on your own teams.

Do I need to bring my own data?

No. I bring the scenario and the data, and we work it together. Nothing to prepare, and nothing of yours to share. If you want the same thing done on your own numbers, that’s what the clinics and one-to-one sessions are for.

Is this a certification course?

No, this is a practical, hands-on skills masterclass, not a certification. If you’re after a recognised SAFe® or Scrum.org certification, take a look at my certification courses, this pairs beautifully with them.

What does it cost?

Nothing. The session is completely free, there’s no card to enter and no obligation afterwards. Register your seat, I’ll email you the date options currently available, and you pick the one that suits you.
