Dev Manager's Playbook - Examining AI Agents

It's 2025, and AI agents have evolved from experimental to practical and, through innovative application, can significantly enhance your outcomes. 

At agile Innovation Labs, we're launching the Dev Manager's Playbook—a comprehensive toolkit designed specifically for development leaders navigating today's complex technical landscape. Our inaugural focus tackles application modernization through the strategic deployment of AI Agents, providing development managers with practical frameworks, implementation guides, and real-world case studies to transform aging systems into modern, competitive assets.

The Dev Manager's Playbook is being developed entirely as an open-source project, reflecting our commitment to democratizing access to cutting-edge engineering practices. By building in public on YouTube and sharing our journey, we're creating a collaborative ecosystem where development leaders can 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 modernization strategies accessible to development teams of all sizes.

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..

THEN - Product Discovery Canvas

Back in 2015, agile Innovation Labs coached clients to approach product development efforts with dedicated time for product discovery.
