Program:
AI is accelerating software delivery at an unprecedented pace – code is generated in seconds, features are shipped faster, and productivity appears to be higher than ever. Yet many project managers are facing a different reality: increasing delays, unpredictable outcomes, and teams that feel constantly overloaded.
This talk explores the concept of invisible work – the untracked effort that consumes capacity but is rarely reflected in plans, timelines, or metrics. Building on ideas from The Phoenix Project and The Goal, we will examine how invisible work has evolved in modern IT environments and why it becomes even more critical in AI-first development.
We will look at how AI shifts effort away from coding into less visible activities such as validation, coordination, and governance – and why this shift creates new bottlenecks that traditional project management approaches fail to capture.
The session will provide practical insights on:
>>> recognizing invisible work in your projects,
>>> understanding its impact on delivery and team performance, and
>>> adapting planning, metrics, and governance to better manage it.
If your projects are moving faster, but feel harder to control, this talk will help you understand why, and what to do about it.
>>> Q&A session
