Avoiding AI Debt as a Team

TL; DR: Reusing Agile Artifacts to Avoid Accumulating AI Debt

In this video from the 76th Hands-on Agile Meetup, I walk you through the A3 Delegation System and show how it helps avoid AI debt by borrowing artifacts and practices from Agile, such as the Definition of Done and Retrospectives.

What the Video on the A3 Delegation System Addresses

AI Debt and the Delegation Lifecycle: The delegation, documentation, and ownership failures you already know from Agile reappear the moment an AI workflow runs unattended and undocumented, and the six-stage Delegation Lifecycle gives you a place to catch each one before it reaches a customer.

The A3 Framework, Assist, Automate, Avoid: Every task lands in one of three boxes, Assist (AI drafts, you own the outcome), Automate (AI executes on explicit rules with an audit cadence), or Avoid (work that stays human because failure damages trust), and the real risk is Assist quietly drifting into Automate because the output has looked fine for four weeks.
