## Agenda

17.30 – 17.45 — Meet & Greet
17.45 – 18.15 — Session 1: Winning with Platform Engineering (Fredrik van Bruggen)
18.15 – 18.45 — Session 2: The Future of DevOps with Azure & ADO MCP Servers (Negar Shahbaz)

### Session 1: Winning with Platform Engineering – Focus on the Users, Not the Tools

Speaker: Fredrik van Bruggen, Platform Engineer at Precise Biometrics & Co‑organizer of DevOps Skåne/Malmö
Platform engineering often starts with the right intentions but the wrong focus: tools. Fredrik explores why successful platforms are built around developer experience, reduced cognitive load, and friction‑free workflows. Learn how internal platforms can be treated as user‑facing products and how thoughtful abstractions can accelerate delivery instead of slowing teams down.

### Session 2: The Future of DevOps with Azure & ADO MCP Servers

Speaker: Negar Shahbaz – Microsoft Cloud Solution Architect, Capgemini Sweden https://sessionize.com/negar-shahbaz/
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is becoming the universal standard for enabling AI assistants to interact with external tools and data. Negar will walk through Azure & Azure DevOps MCP Servers and show how they support the full DevOps chain — from secure access to work items and pull requests to build pipelines, test plans, and even Bicep schema retrieval. A forward‑looking session for anyone curious about AI‑driven DevOps workflows.

A big welcome!
