AI Makes Code Faster, and Technical Debt Deeper for Teams

AI has moved beyond simply making development easier. It is now reshaping organizations, sometimes even driving discussions around headcount reduction.

Is our development team's Scrum working properly?

Many development teams hold Scrum meetings every morning. But why do many developers consider Scrum one of the 'most hated tasks'? Scrum is a term originally derived from rugby. You may have seen the scene where players from both teams put their heads together and push each other
