AGENDA
Workshop Agenda
A full-day, hands-on experience with practical exercises, collaborative activities, and expert guidance. Here's what your team will experience step by step:
- ~0.5hIntroduction: The state of AI-Assisted development
- Welcome and objectives of the workshop.
- Overview of the AI landscape in software development and the role of tools like Gemini, Claude, and Cursor.
- Setting the stage for responsible and collaborative AI usage.
- Introduction to the Randori Kata concept.
- ~3hRandori Kata with AI Assistance (Cursor)
- Introduction/Recap of TDD principles and the Randori format.
- Setting up the coding environment with Cursor.
- Hands-on exercise: The team will work through an AI-assisted TDD Kata in a Randori style, with one person guiding the process ("Driver") and another strategically prompting Cursor for code suggestions, analysis, and refactoring ideas ("Navigator with AI").
- Progressive complexity: The Kata will evolve through 2-3 layers, allowing participants to explore different prompting techniques and observe Cursor's capabilities in varying scenarios.
- Short debriefs after each layer to share learnings, discuss effective prompting strategies, and analyze Cursor's output.
- ~1hLunch Break
- Time to recharge and network with fellow participants.
- ~2hEvent Storming with AI Assistant (Claude/Windsurf)
- Introduction/Recap of Event Storming principles and its benefits for understanding domain complexity.
- Group exercise: The team will collaboratively conduct a simplified Event Storming session focused on a specific (potentially familiar) domain.
- Leveraging AI to Analyze and Extend the Event Storming Output.
- Integrating the AI assistant to:
- Analyze identified events and suggest related commands or entities.
- Challenge assumptions and identify potential gaps in the team's understanding.
- Help refine the event flow and identify potential issues.
- Discussion on how the AI's input broadened perspectives and facilitated deeper analysis.
- ~1hBeyond Generation: Philosophy of AI-Assisted Work
- Discussion: Shifting the mindset from purely generating code to leveraging AI for analysis, challenging ideas, and improving overall development quality.
- Brainstorming: How can the team responsibly and effectively integrate these tools into their daily workflows? Addressing potential challenges and sharing initial strategies.
- ~0.5hWrap-up & Next Steps
- Key learnings and actionable insights.
- Open Q&A session.
- Sharing resources for continued exploration and learning.
