PMI und SQUER laden Sie ein, das Potenzial von DAD für Ihr Unternehmen kennenzulernen.

In einer zunehmend komplexen und dynamischen Geschäftswelt kämpfen viele Unternehmen damit, ihre Projekte effizient und kostengünstig umzusetzen. Unklare Arbeitsprozesse und fehlende Agilität können dabei zu verzögerten Projekten und verpassten Chancen führen.

DAD ist kein neues agiles Framework, sondern ein Methodik-Baukasten für Teams, Unternehmen oder Organisationen, um die für die aktuelle Situation  beste Vorgehensweise für agiles Arbeiten auszuwählen.

Mithilfe dieses Baukastens können sich Teams und Organisationen durch Experimentieren und Lernen kontinuierlich verbessern und so auch die eigenen Kunden besser unterstützen. Unabhängig davon, ob bereits agile Arbeitsweisen wie z.B. Scrum, Kanban, SAFe ® oder LeSS genutzt werden – DAD zeigt auf, wie diese Arbeitsweisen erweitert oder verbessert werden können. 

A curated exchange for forward-thinkers reflecting on where building with AI is going

AI is not just transforming what we build, but how we build it — driving major efficiency gains, accelerating time-to-market, and enabling rapid product validation. Autonomous agents are emerging as real team members, taking on key responsibilities and speeding up delivery. But if we start working like it’s 2030, what is the role of the human in the loop — and where can we add the most value?

Strategies-1

CONTINUOUS LEARNING

Mit „Guided Continuous Improvement“ motivieren Sie Ihre Teams, durch ständiges Experimentieren und Lernen bessere Ergebnisse zu erzielen.

Build faster. Lead smarter. Rethink your organization. 

AI is no longer just a tool — it’s becoming a team member. From intelligent copilots in engineering to autonomous agents shaping workflows, the way we build digital products is evolving fast.

But how do we unlock these capabilities without breaking what already works? How do we balance speed and control, or automation and human judgment?

Frame 3-4

This Brainfood Circle brings together forward-thinking leaders to exchange ideas, explore real-world experiments, and discuss what it takes to transform delivery models and organizational practices with AI — not just in theory, but in daily execution.

If you’re navigating AI adoption in product, tech, or architecture — this evening is for you.

Is Agile Transformation Part of Your Role?
Then This Is for You.

Whether you’re leading digital initiatives, driving enterprise transformation, or questioning how your organization can stay adaptable—this is your space.

What is the Brainfood Circle?

The Brainfood Circle is for those who think ahead—curious minds who want more than surface-level insights.
