Learning Center
This Learning Center represents our strong commitment to democratizing access to advanced AI concepts, as we believe that knowledge should be shared freely to foster innovation and growth.
Here are our learnings from recent projects, conference presentations, and just tinkering, where we have delved into various aspects of AI development and innovation. Through these experiences, we have gained valuable insights into the latest trends and breakthroughs in AI technology. We offer access to these cutting-edge perspectives on AI agent architecture and implementation strategies, ensuring that these advanced concepts are available to everyone without financial barriers to entry.
We believe that by openly sharing our expertise, case studies, and lessons learned, we can help organizations of all sizes begin their AI transformation journeys with confidence. Whether you're looking to understand the fundamentals of agent design or seeking advanced implementation strategies, our curated resources provide the guidance needed to navigate the complex landscape of business-focused AI solutions.
Product Discovery Canvas
Blog Thoughts from Back in 2015
At agile Innovation Labs, we coach clients to approach product development efforts with dedicated time for product discovery. We guide them to apply elements of Collaborative Chartering, Customer Discovery, User Story Mapping, Pretotyping and Lean Startup.
We have been inventing on, experimenting with, and sharing insights on a product discovery ideation tool called “The Product Discovery Canvas”. You have the option of visiting the Blog pages for insights on how to apply the canvas for your product discovery success. Or fast-track your success and bring our workshop on-site, tailored for your organization’s product discovery challenges.

Beyond the Hype - Onboarding AI Agents
In today's rapidly evolving technology ecosystem, development managers must navigate a complex matrix of challenges that demand both technical prowess and leadership finesse. The modern development landscape requires balancing competing priorities across multiple dimensions, where this is a short-list:
- Balancing Technical Debt vs. Feature Development
- Robust CI/CD Pipelines
- Maintaining Engineering Quality
- Resilient Architecture / Infrastructure
- App Modernization
- Realistic Estimations
- Talent Development & Retention
- Cross-Functional Team Alignment
- Centralized Patch Management
- Enhancing Developer Experience
- Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
But what if there were a way to not just weather this storm but harness its energy to propel your organization forward?
That's the vision behind the Dev Manager's Playbook—an extensible, open-source toolkit we're building at agile Innovation Labs. This is not just another white paper or webinar series. We're building a dynamic, collaborative resource to empower development leaders to not only consume valuable content but actively participate in shaping it.
Join us as we explore this thesis: AI Agents can augment team capabilities, reduce modernization friction, and accelerate digital transformation—making enterprise-grade software development accessible to development teams of all sizes.
Open the Dev Manager's Playbook for emerging AI technologies that transform how software gets built.

Becoming a Super Learner: AI in Education
Too often the news reporting that wide-spread use of AI will cripple a student's critical thinking. We come from the opposite directions, saying that AI can guide students to become Super Learners!
We're sharing a strategic approach to develop chat prompts that provide students with valuable learning experience, creative inspiration, and practical insights into the art of writing prompts, for engaged learning.
“Becoming a Super Learner: AI in Education” was presented at FAMU (Apr '24) and BITCON 2024 The Blacks In Technology Confernece (Sep '24). The talk illustrates learning scenarios that can be thoughtfully adapted to meet specific educational objectives at any academic level.
03
Using BDD and TDD, Explained!
When you are obsessed with crafting awesome code you learn beneficial design techniques. Here we're explaining a software design technique that combines Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
We offer great insight on how an enterprises can extend the life of a critical legacy business application. This quick example show how to build infrastructure around the application for access by services, mobile devices and browsers.

Product Discovery
NOW - Brainstorming Product Discovery
It's 2025, and AI agents have evolved from experimental to practical and, through innovative application, can significantly enhance a software team’s outcomes. 10-years have past since we created the Product Discovery Canvas. We've spent the better part of 2025 giving presentations and workshops on using AI Agents to brainstorm Product Discovery and development.
COMING SOON - We're chopping up the workshop into a series of short demonstrations showing AI agents as brainstorming partners for product discovery and development..
