He Created Scrum. Here’s What He Thinks About Agile Now. ft Jeff Sutherland

What happens when the co-creator of Scrum sits down to talk about the past, present, and future of Agile?

In this episode of PM Therapy, host Mukhtar Kadiri, PMP sits with Jeff Sutherland, the inventor of Scrum and one of the original authors of the Agile Manifesto, for an unfiltered conversation on how Scrum began, where Agile stands today, and how AI is redefining the way we work.

Before pioneering Scrum, Jeff was a fighter pilot, professor, and VP at multiple companies and that journey shaped how he built one of the most influential frameworks in modern project management. This episode dives into his lessons from six decades of leadership, innovation, and transformation.

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🔹The origin story of Scrum — and what inspired its creation

🔹Why 58% of Scrum teams still fail, and how to fix it

🔹How to scale Agile effectively (and what most companies get wrong)

🔹How Jeff’s AI Scrum teams achieve 30x performance gains

🔹The shift from retrospective Scrum to prospective Scrum

🔹What the next decade of Agile and AI-driven project management looks like
