Hands-on Agile #68: How to Analyze Unstructured Team Interviews with AI

The webinar explores how Agile practitioners can harness generative AI to enhance their sensemaking and coaching in high-pressure team environments. Stefan Wolpers presents a scenario where a Scrum Master faces overwhelming challenges: technical debt, looming funding deadlines, burnout, and insufficient time for manual team analysis. The traditional approach—sampling interviews, manual pattern recognition, and subjective interpretation—often leads to delayed and flawed interventions.

Stefan shows how AI amplifies a coach’s capabilities by:

• Detecting emotional undertones (e.g., stress, frustration, enthusiasm) invisible to surveys.
• Identifying hidden contradictions between leadership narratives and team realities.
• Surfacing recurring pain points and bottlenecks rapidly.
• Reducing cognitive load, enabling coaches to focus on meaningful interventions.
• Supporting evidence-based decisions through specific quotes and pattern examples.

The session emphasizes the ethical use of AI, urging transparency, privacy protection, and human validation of insights. While AI helps process large, messy data sets (interviews, retrospectives, chat logs), human expertise remains central to making empathetic and effective decisions. The same techniques can be applied beyond teams, accelerating product discovery through customer interview analysis.
