How the Team Behind Calendly is Using AI to Deliver Major Releases Without a Project Manager

Distributed SaaS product teams have been delivering software without a project manager for years. That’s just scrum at work.

But for many of these teams, there was a limit to the scale and complexity they could deliver without additional help from, say, a program manager or delivery manager.

With AI in the mix, however, that reality could be changing.

If you’re interested in how remote-first development teams are self-managing with the help of AI, this session is for you.

We’ve invited the folks at Railsware — the team behind Calendly, Coupler.io, Mailtrap.io, and TitanApps.io — to share how they are using AI to improve their delivery process and what the future looks like for the makeup of their teams.

Along the way, we’ll be talking about navigating business constraints, keeping teams aligned towards a moving target, and some of the ways that AI is presenting new challenges as it solves old ones.

It’s a live event, so anything can happen! But I’m reasonably confident you’ll come away with…

• An understanding of how AI is helping scrum teams expand their capacity and enhance their collaboration capabilities
• A perspective on how AI can help — and also hurt — remote-first culture
• A sense of the role that team culture plays in effectively adopting AI tools and AI-driven processes
• Some hints on what the future holds for AI-enabled scrum teams and the role of the program manager in SaaS
