Imagine your organisation is going through a major change programme—such as a platform migration, system rollout, or large operational transformation. During these periods, service desks and call centre teams can generate thousands of incident tickets in a very short time. Although organisations typically define the correct format for logging incidents, the reality on the ground is often very different. Agents are under pressure, dealing with high call volumes and urgent user requests. As a result, many tickets are created quickly, often with incomplete, inconsistent, or poorly structured information. The consequence? Service teams struggle to triage effectively. Common challenges include: Thousands of tickets describing the same issue in different ways Poor data quality that makes analysis difficult Difficulty identifying duplicate or related incidents Delays in identifying the true root cause Valuable operational time spent manually reviewing tickets So the key question becomes: How can we triage thousands of incidents when the data itself is messy? In this interactive workshop, we will explore how Atlassian Rovo Agents can help solve this problem. Together we will design and build a multi-role Rovo Agent capable of analysing incident data and helping service teams make better decisions faster. During the session we will: Create a Rovo Agent live Configure roles that analyse incident information Interpret poorly structured ticket data Identify patterns and group related incidents Automatically highlight duplicate or similar tickets Support smarter triage and prioritisation Enable the potential to automatically close duplicate incidents This workshop is designed to be hands-on and practical. Rather than simply discussing concepts, we will build the Rovo Agent together and see how it works in action. By the end of the session, you will see how AI-powered agents can transform chaotic ticket queues into structured insights that enable faster triage and informed operational decisions. Whether you work in IT Service Management, Service Operations, Platform Engineering, or AI-enabled support teams, this session will provide practical insight into how Rovo Agents can help manage incident volumes at scale. Join us as we turn ticket chaos into intelligent triage. Predstavljajte si, da vaša organizacija prehaja skozi obsežen program sprememb — na primer migracijo platforme, uvedbo novega sistema ali večjo operativno transformacijo. V takšnih obdobjih lahko službe za podporo uporabnikom in klicni centri v zelo kratkem času ustvarijo na tisoče incidentnih zahtevkov. Čeprav organizacije običajno določijo pravilen način beleženja incidentov, je realnost na terenu pogosto precej drugačna. Agentje so pod pritiskom, soočajo se z velikim številom klicev in nujnimi zahtevami uporabnikov. Zato se številni zahtevki ustvarijo zelo hitro, pogosto z nepopolnimi, nedoslednimi ali slabo strukturiranimi informacijami. Posledica? Podporne ekipe težko učinkovito izvajajo triažo. Pogosti izzivi vključujejo: Na tisoče zahtevkov, ki opisujejo isto težavo na različne načine Slabo kakovost podatkov, ki otežuje analizo Težave pri prepoznavanju podvojenih ali povezanih incidentov Zamude pri odkrivanju pravega vzroka težave Veliko operativnega časa, porabljenega za ročno pregledovanje zahtevkov Ključno vprašanje zato postane: Kako lahko izvajamo triažo na tisočih incidentov, ko so podatki sami po sebi neurejeni? Na tej interaktivni delavnici bomo raziskali, kako lahko Atlassian Rovo Agent pomaga rešiti ta problem. Skupaj bomo zasnovali in zgradili večvlogni Rovo Agent, ki bo sposoben analizirati podatke o incidentih in podpornim ekipam pomagati hitreje sprejemati boljše odločitve. Med delavnico bomo: v živo ustvarili Rovo Agenta konfigurirali vloge za analizo informacij o incidentih interpretirali slabo strukturirane podatke iz zahtevkov prepoznali vzorce in združevali povezane incidente samodejno izpostavili podvojene ali podobne zahtevke podprli pametnejšo triažo in določanje prioritet omogočili potencial za samodejno zapiranje podvojenih incidentov Delavnica je zasnovana praktično in interaktivno. Namesto zgolj razprave o konceptih bomo Rovo Agenta skupaj zgradili in videli, kako deluje v praksi. Do konca srečanja boste videli, kako lahko agenti, podprti z umetno inteligenco, kaotične vrste zahtevkov spremenijo v strukturirane vpoglede, ki omogočajo hitrejšo triažo in bolj informirane operativne odločitve. Ne glede na to, ali delate na področju upravljanja IT storitev (IT Service Management), operacij storitev, platformnega inženiringa ali AI-podprte podpore, vam bo ta delavnica ponudila praktičen vpogled v to, kako lahko Rovo Agenti pomagajo obvladovati velike količine incidentov. Pridružite se nam in skupaj spremenimo kaos zahtevkov v inteligentno triažo.

Let's bedazzle some books while we discuss our April pick: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson! Book description: One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise… Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie. Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose. He was wrong—and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity. All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day. Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard—and his freedom. But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap. Nor will his ultimate revenge… Event: Please bring your own book, journal, bookmarks, etc to bedazzle. If you have bedazzling supplies, please bring them as well. I will supply gems, glue, and picker tools, but if you have certain colors in mind, you may want to bring your own.

Join Neurospicy Columbus at the Stauff's for coffee and then a stroll through the Book Loft nearby! This will be a friendly chat for like minded individuals with Autism and/or ADHD (or somewhere on the Neurodiverse Spectra).

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .

Semi in honor of March being International Women's Month Columbus libraries: [https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3454709](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3454709) Location: SOW Plated Menu: [https://www.sowplated.com/menu-brunch/](https://www.sowplated.com/menu-brunch/) Book summary: In 2006 Julia Lerner is living in Moscow, a recent university graduate in computer science, when she's recruited by Russia's largest intelligence agency. By 2018 she's in Silicon Valley as COO of Tangerine, one of America's most famous technology companies. In between her executive management (make offers to promising startups, crush them and copy their features if they refuse); self promotion (check out her latest op-ed in the WSJ, on Work/Life Balance 2.0); and work in gender equality (transfer the most annoying females from her team), she funnels intelligence back to the motherland. But now Russia's asking for more, and Julia's getting nervous. Alice Lu is a first generation Chinese American whose parents are delighted she's working at Tangerine (such a successful company!). Too bad she's slogging away in the lower echelons, recently dumped, and now sharing her expensive two-bedroom apartment with her cousin Cheri, a perennial "founder's girlfriend". One afternoon, while performing a server check, Alice discovers some unusual activity, and now she's burdened with two powerful but distressing suspicions: Tangerine's privacy settings aren't as rigorous as the company claims they are, and the person abusing this loophole might be Julia Lerner herself. The closer Alice gets to Julia, the more Julia questions her own loyalties. Russia may have placed her in the Valley, but she's the one who built her career; isn't she entitled to protect the lifestyle she's earned?

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime. Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised (GFC website preferred)! Please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Showtimes and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
