Most developers think AI’s only job is writing code, debugging tests, or generating documentation. But Scrum? That’s still a human mess, full of vague stories, chaotic meetings, and awkward silences. Here’s the truth: prompt engineering can turn AI into your secret Agile assistant—if you know how to talk to it.
In this guide, we share field-tested, research-backed prompts that developers can use in real time to make Agile rituals smoother, smarter, and actually useful. Based on findings from Alamu et al. (2024), Verma et al. (2025), and Mitra & Lewis (2025), we show how prompt structures can turn your next standup, sprint planning, or retro into something that works for you, not just for your Scrum Master.
