*Are your roadmaps keeping up with the pace of change?* **Is your product roadmap a living strategy tool — or just a list of features with dates?** Join the **Scaled Agile and AI — San Antonio & Austin Community** for an evening where product strategy meets AI-powered execution, and where the networking comes with a complimentary wine tasting. We're taking over **Total Wine & More** in Austin to tackle one of the biggest challenges in product management: building roadmaps that actually *respond* to reality. Drawing from Scaled Agile's latest thinking on responsive roadmaps and real-world product management practices, this session goes beyond theory — you'll leave with hands-on experience and a ready-to-use prompt library you can put to work the very next day. ## What You'll Walk Away With Practical, hands-on experience using GenAI tools to build and refine responsive roadmaps, plus a curated prompt library you can immediately apply to your own products and portfolios. Whether you're a Product Manager, RTE, Product Owner, or Agile Leader — this one's for you. ## The Agenda **5:30 PM – 6:00 PM** **Social Hour + Wine Tasting 🍷** * Kick things off with a complimentary wine tasting for in-person attendees at Total Wine & More. Meet fellow agilists, AI enthusiasts, and product leaders across the San Antonio and Austin corridor. **6:00 PM – 7:00 PM** **Main Session: Creating Responsive Roadmaps with AI** * A guided, interactive session based on Scaled Agile's *"Creating Responsive Roadmaps"* discipline article — enhanced with practical GenAI exercises you'll do in real time. **Bring Your Laptop** This is a working session. You'll be using your preferred GenAI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini — your choice) during the exercises, so come ready to roll up your sleeves. ## How to Join **In Person** * Total Wine & More Austin Arboretum * *10001 Research Blvd #300, Austin, TX 78759* **Virtually** * Can't make it in person?

Whether you're a current or aspiring game designer or a tabletop games enthusiast, getting together with game designers to play published games has a lot to offer. If you design games, analyzing and breaking down a game after the game is over can help you gain a deeper understanding of game mechanics and explore specific problems you're encountering in game development. If you're primarily a playtester, it can help you develop the skills to understand games' underlying mechanisms in ways that can level up your gaming strategy, and see how published games help inspire and teach designers in their own designs. This is not a prototype playtesting event - rather, it's a chance for you to play published games with other designers and game design enthusiasts and follow up gameplay with rich conversations about how designers implemented, combined, or innovated on mechanics in published games. If you'd like to join us, you are welcome to bring a game you'd like to offer for the group to play - think beyond "I love this game and want to play it again" and focus on games you want to better understand or learn from as a designer. If you're a game designer, you're also encouraged to comment on this page with a specific problem you're trying to address in a game, so that organizers or other attendees can bring games that might help you explore the problem space. Please comment on the event page only for events you have RSVP'd for and plan to attend.

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
