AI made building cheap, not deciding. Drawing on Michael Hammer’s 1990 “Don’t Automate, Obliterate,” this post introduces a new paper that distills the Agile Product Operating Model into seven principles built on direction, ownership and evidence, and argues most organizations need to evolve their operating model, not start over.]]></description><link>https://www.valueamplified.com/post/the-operating-model-is-the-bottleneck</link><guid isPermaLink="false">c0c86d14-aee9-4cd0-83f7-50b73b97a7af</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:58:07 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3cd7af_c1235d1d91e34d85b5262c95f40d24cb~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Dave West</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[AI Redrew the SDLC but Not the Team: What It Means for Teams]]></title><description><![CDATA[AWS, Google, and Anthropic have each redrawn the software development lifecycle for AI agents, and each offers useful ideas. But all three describe how work flows through agents, not how the team works. None answers who decides what’s worth building, who outside the harness inspects the result, or how the team improves. A team framework adds direction, inspection, and learning. Here’s how to run agent work inside Sprints, with named human owners and stakeholder review.]]></description><link>https://www.valueamplified.com/post/ai-redrew-the-sdlc-but-not-the-team</link><guid isPermaLink="false">d1b56d32-f223-4e3d-b5c4-5d216b12dda4</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:58:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3cd7af_d1fb08d13f334d5db5ab9b626e731fb9~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Dave West</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Question I Get Asked Most Since Leaving Scrum.org: "What comes after Scrum"]]></title><description><![CDATA[Since leaving Scrum.org, the question I hear most is “what comes after Scrum?” My answer: AI has made building cheap, but judgment hasn’t gotten any cheaper. Deciding what’s worth building, whether the result is any good, and whether to act at all matter more than ever. Scrum’s values still hold, but some of its scaffolding was designed for slow, expensive human work. Dr Alan Brown and I explore what to keep and what to rethink in our new white paper, From Production to Judgment.]]></description><link>https://www.valueamplified.com/post/the-question-i-get-asked-most-since-leaving-scrum-org-what-comes-after-scrum</link><guid isPermaLink="false">381b79e6-defb-46e9-be93-6e52301f22fe</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:57:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3cd7af_80496358a00546c7a2009e8e889fae62~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_200,h_188,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Dave West</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Story Behind Value Amplified]]></title><description><![CDATA[After 11 years at Scrum.org, Eric Naiburg and Dave West asked a simple question: what if we could help people more without the constraints of the Scrum Guide? The answer is Value Amplified. AI has changed everything, and many companies know they must adapt but not how. Our mission: embrace what works, evolve what needs to change, and amplify the value teams deliver. Built on decades of experience at Rational, IBM, and Scrum.org, we’re here to help.]]></description><link>https://www.valueamplified.com/post/my-story-behind-value-amplified</link><guid isPermaLink="false">2f4e31d5-bd4d-43b5-9946-101aa3f59c87</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:56:58 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3cd7af_0f67891558f64457a3f7fffd43cdeade~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_414,h_414,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Eric Naiburg</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Introducing Value Amplified: Deliver more value in the age of AI]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you believe any new tool or method delivering digital products is impossible. Impossible, of course, without the magic of the new something. The reality is that organizations, teams and individuals have been delivering “stuff” forever. Value is being delivered. The question is, can you deliver greater value in the age of AI? Can we amplify the delivery of value? ]]></description><link>https://www.valueamplified.com/post/introducing-value-amplified-deliver-more-value-in-the-age-of-ai</link><guid isPermaLink="false">aaedddb7-c196-4685-b473-ba1baab026ff</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:36:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3cd7af_3388165d1e5d45df89ae7ed4bb20209a~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_371,h_399,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Dave West</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
