Ask your developers:
- “Where do you think AI could help us first without disrupting stability?”

💻 Developers
Ask your business leaders:

- “What kinds of decisions do you wish could be automated or augmented?”
- “Where do you see us needing AI explainability or transparency?”
🗄️ DBAs & Data Teams
Ask the whole team:

- “Are we storing this data in ways that support AI use?”
- “How can we keep sensitive data secure while experimenting?”
📅 Project Managers
