Djordje is driven by two questions: How to motivate large groups of people to work together for shared goals? Is it possible to communicate completely?

In this search, he has helped organizations grow and thrive, bringing clarity to structure, culture, and processes. He has mentored managers, directors, and C-level executives, and held many workshops that are designed to help teams collaborate, deliver, reflect, and improve.

He focuses on active questioning, listening deeply, and systemic modeling to help groups find their metaphors, shares vision, and finds ways of working together that are suitable to their needs.

Title: Bias workshop with AI considerations

Conceptual Intro

In fast-moving Agile environments, we make dozens of decisions daily, from backlog prioritization,  sprint planning to stakeholder communication. Our brains are wired for speed, using mental shortcuts and pattern recognition to keep pace. But these same cognitive shortcuts can lead us astray, especially when we’re under pressure, working with incomplete information, or leveraging powerful tools like AI that can amplify our existing blind spots.
This workshop explores how cognitive bias shapes our Agile decision-making, from subtle estimation errors to major strategic missteps, and equips you with practical techniques to think more clearly and decide more wisely.

What to Expect
Real-World Scenarios: You’ll navigate authentic Agile situations where bias lurks beneath seemingly rational decisions. We’ll examine backlog refinement sessions where anchoring bias skews estimates, sprint planning where confirmation bias drives tool selection, and retrospectives where availability bias colors our lessons learned.
Bias Detective Work: Together, we’ll uncover how cognitive traps appear in user story writing, stakeholder feedback interpretation, risk assessment, and team dynamics. We’ll also explore how modern tools, focusing on AI assistants, can both help and hinder clear thinking.
Practical Debiasing Toolkit: Through rapid-fire exercises, you’ll practice proven techniques from behavioral science and team facilitation. These include structured decision frameworks, perspective-taking exercises, devil’s advocate protocols, and simple cognitive checkpoints you can embed directly into your existing Agile ceremonies.
Active Engagement: Expect to debate assumptions, challenge group thinking, test your own blind spots, and discover how confidently wrong even experienced practitioners can be.
