When Agile Meets Fast-Forward AI: Two Forces From Taiwan and Shanghai

When Agile Meets Fast-Forward AI: Two Forces From Taiwan and Shanghai

This is a travel journal from Taipei to Shanghai. I carried a real case study to Shanghai -- a seventy-year-old Taiwanese education publisher that used agile to complete its AI transformation -- only to find myself stunned by the sheer speed of AI practice inside China's agile community. Taiwan is bringing agile to the CEO's decision table; China is using agile to accelerate how humans and AI iterate together. Where these two forces meet, you'll find Jacky's still-unfinished "AI-Native Scrum Guide," and you'll find Brenda leading twenty organizers -- nine of them graphic recorders -- who did agile in front of everyone's eyes, live.

当敏捷遇见高速前进的AI:台湾与上海的两种力量

当敏捷遇见高速前进的AI:台湾与上海的两种力量

这是一趟从台北到上海的旅程观察。我带着台湾一家七十年出版社用敏捷完成AI转型的真实案例赴上海分享,却在会场见识到中国敏捷社群惊人的AI实践速度。台湾把敏捷带进CEO决策桌,中国让敏捷加速迭代人机协作的方式——两股力量交会之处,藏着Jacky老师还没定稿的《AI-Native Scrum指南》,也藏着Brenda带廿位组织者含九位图像纪录师,把敏捷直接做给所有人看的现场。

Let the World See Taiwan: This Time, the World Said It

A regional Scrum gathering got written up by Scrum Alliance's own official account — the one with 440,000 followers — as a global case study. 221 attendees, a full day of real work, a 9.27 satisfaction score, an NPS of 71. Seventy percent of attendees held a management title, and they rated the day higher than anyone else in the room. None of this came from throwing a bigger event. It came from seven months of preparation, a volunteer team's trust, and the nerve to put "Let the World See Taiwan" in the closing video's title card before anyone outside Taiwan had said a word. Real stature was never something you claim for yourself. It's something other people choose to say about you.

Let the World See Taiwan:這一次,是全世界替台灣說的

一個區域性的Scrum聚會,讓Scrum Alliance用自己44萬人追蹤的官方帳號,把它寫成全球案例。221人、一整天實作、9.27分滿意度、NPS 71,70%與會者是主管級以上,卻給出全場最高評分。這不是靠一場活動辦得夠大,是靠七個月的準備、一群志工的信任,還有敢把「讓世界看見台灣」寫進片頭的決心。真正的格局,不是自己說出來的,是別人願意替你說出來。

Not Sponsorship. Belief First: Twenty People Behind the Start of RSG Taipei 2026

Most executives, shown a slide deck with nothing to prove yet, say: "Come back once you've got results." That's exactly what the deck I sent out on January 16, 2026 looked like — no photos, no registration numbers, not even a signed venue contract. But twenty executives read it and, instead of waiting, each put down NT$20,000 of their own money to carry the risk first. That's not sponsorship — it's carrying the risk before the result exists. The NT$400,000 it raised never bought the face value of a ticket; it bought more than two hundred people, who couldn't otherwise have been part of this conversation, a seat in the room. So which are you: someone who only believes once they've seen the outcome, or someone willing to carry it first?

不是贊助,是先相信:二十個人與 RSG Taipei 2026 的起點

多數企業高層看到一份還沒有任何成果的簡報,會說:「等你們做出成績再來談。」2026年1月16日我發出的那份簡報就是如此——沒有照片、沒有報名數字,連場地合約都還沒簽。但二十位企業高層看完後,做的不是等待,而是各自掏出新台幣兩萬元,先扛下風險。這不是贊助,而是在成果出現之前先承擔風險。四十萬元換來的不是票的面額,是兩百多個原本進不了這場對話的人,走進現場。你,是等看到成果才敢相信,還是願意先承擔?

A Roster of Twenty, Carrying an Entire International Conference

Most people assume the hardest part of running an international conference is the agenda and the budget. It's actually turning a group of strangers into a team that takes ownership on its own — in four weeks, starting from a single recruitment post. This isn't about treating volunteers as task-executors; it's about making the vision unmistakably clear, then handing over the decisions. Twenty open spots grew into a team of thirty-one — I didn't personally recruit a single one of the extra eleven. This is the story of a Product Owner who built a real team through vision, not management — and it's written for every leader who's afraid to actually let go.

一張只收二十人的名單,怎麼扛起一整場國際級盛會

多數人以為辦一場國際級盛會最難的是議程和預算,其實最難的是怎麼讓一群互不相識的人,在四週內從一則招募貼文,長成一支願意主動扛責任、彼此補位的隊伍。這不是把志工當成執行任務的工具,而是把願景講清楚,然後把決定權交出去——結果二十個名額,最後長成三十一人的隊伍,多出來的十一個人沒有一個是我主動邀請的。這篇文章記錄一個 PO 怎麼用願景,而不是用管理,召集出一支真正的團隊,也寫給每一個不敢真的放手的帶隊者。

This Isn’t Just Another Regional Scrum Gathering: When Scrum Walks Into the CEO’s Decision Room

這不是另一場 Regional Scrum Gathering:當 Scrum 走進 CEO 的決策室

Most agile conferences end with a photo album and a vague feeling that ‘it went well.’ RSG Taipei 2026 ended with 174 independent surveys and an NPS (Net Promoter Score, scored from -100 to 100) of 71 — with 51.7% of respondents at management level or above. That's not a coincidence. It's a harder question, finally answered head-on: what actually stalls a company was never a shortage of agile methods — it's whether the decision-making layer is willing to lay its judgment calls out for the team to see. The ceiling isn't the team. It's the decision-makers. If your organization is also stuck somewhere on its agile transformation journey, this is something that can be designed.
