About
I’m Michael Stables, an Agile leader, systems thinker, and AI workflow builder. I like making messy work a little easier to understand, organize, and improve.
I work at the intersection of people, process, technology, and practical AI.
My background includes Agile leadership, software delivery, coaching, facilitation, and systems thinking. Lately, a lot of my attention has gone into AI workflows and automation because that is where I see a lot of practical opportunity.
Not “AI replaces everything.” More like: “What if this repetitive thing did not eat half your afternoon?”
A lot of AI content makes the whole thing sound either magical or terrifying. I am more interested in the part that is actually useful.
AI can help summarize messy notes, clean up rough ideas, draft clearer updates, support Agile ceremonies, organize research, and automate repeatable tasks.
But the tool is only part of it. The workflow matters. The human review matters. The context matters.
That is the part I enjoy figuring out.
Agile leadership taught me how teams actually work, where communication breaks down, and why process improvements fail when they ignore real people.
Technical work gave me the curiosity to understand how tools connect.
Coaching and facilitation taught me how to explain messy ideas in a way people can actually use.
That mix is what I bring into AI workflows, automation, and practical systems.
Current Focus
I’m building an interconnected ecosystem around practical AI workflows, prompt engineering, automation, Agile systems, and content-driven learning.
MichaelStables.com is the personal side: portfolio, resume, experiments, and professional background.
GetPrompting is the resource side: guides, tutorials, prompts, workflow breakdowns, and practical AI education.
Principles
AI should reduce friction, not create more confusion.
Workflows matter more than random tool chasing.
Clear communication is still a superpower.
Small useful systems beat giant overbuilt ones.
Trust matters more than hype.
The best automation still leaves room for human judgment.
