A group discusses at a table. Text: "FAIR AI SCRUM HANDBOOK: Embedding Fairness into AI Development." Yellow and gray design. Mood: professional.

Building fair and responsible AI requires more than algorithms; it demands structured, continuous reflection at every stage of development. The DIVERSIFAIR project’s Fair AI Scrum Handbook offers AI teams a practical guide to embedding fairness into Scrum workflows.


The handbook introduces five pillars of Fair AI Scrum and provides actionable tools and prompts to integrate fairness across:


  • Sprint Planning: Make fairness a deliberate part of your backlog.

  • Retrospectives: Reflect on fairness and AI impacts in production.

  • Roles, Events, and Artefacts: Foster inclusive decision-making throughout Scrum.


Designed for teams developing AI of any risk level, this handbook helps align AI development with ethical and responsible practices, ensuring your AI systems consider real-world impact and inclusivity.
