Define the Right Product Scope - A 2-Hour Workshop
**š Get your tickets: [https://bit.ly/3PBQC85](https://bit.ly/3PBQC85)**
**Overview**
Product Building Series #2: A 2-Hr workshop to define the right scope for your product before building too many features + Networking
**Description**
Many digital products start with a clear idea.
But as development begins, something quickly happens:
More and more features appear.
New ideas are added, requests accumulate, and the product grows in multiple directions. Before long, the product becomes harder to build, harder to understand, and harder for users to adopt.
One of the most common challenges for founders and builders is deciding:
**What should our product actually include?**
In this practical workshop, we will explore how to define the right scope for your product and avoid the trap of building too much too early.
You will learn a simple way to identify the core capabilities your product needs and distinguish them from secondary features.
**What Youāll Learn**
This workshop is part of the Product Building Series. Together, the three workshops provide a complete path from idea ā product scope ā product structure, helping you move from concept to a clear and scalable product.
In this workshop we will explore:
⢠Why many products become overloaded with features
⢠The difference between features and product capabilities
⢠How to identify the core capabilities of your product
⢠How to reduce complexity and focus on what truly matters.
Through practical examples, you will see how successful digital products focus on a small number of clear capabilities rather than trying to do everything at once.
**What Youāll Leave With**
Participants will leave with a Product Scope Canvas for their idea or product.
By the end of the workshop you will have:
ā A clearer definition of your productās core capabilities
ā A better understanding of which features are essential vs optional
ā A structured Product Scope Canvas you can use to refine your product roadmap
ā A practical framework to avoid feature overload as your product grows.
**Who This Workshop Is For**
This workshop is ideal for:
⢠founders and startup builders
⢠people working on a new app or SaaS idea
⢠indie hackers and makers
⢠early product teams defining what to build.
No technical background is required.
**Workshop Agenda (2 hours)**
1.Welcome & Introduction
*Why defining product scope is one of the hardest parts of building digital products.*
2.Why Products Become Feature-Heavy
*Common mistakes when defining product functionality.*
3.Features vs Capabilities
*Understanding the difference and why it matters.*
4.Real Product Example
*How successful products define a small set of core capabilities.*
5.Practical Exercise
*Define the core capabilities of your own product using the Product Scope Canvas.*
6.Discussion & Insights
*Participants share their discoveries and refine their product scope.*
7.Wrap-Up & Next Steps
**What to Bring**
Bring a product idea, app idea, or feature you are planning to build.
You will work directly on it during the workshop.
We kindly ask participants to arrive about 10 minutes earlier, as the workshop will start promptly at 18:30.
**Format**
- Interactive workshop
- Small group discussion
- Practical exercise
After the workshop, participants are invited to continue the conversation during an informal **networking session** at Sisi Bar on the top floor, where we can share experiences and enjoy the beautiful views of Barcelona together.

**šļøTalks**
**Taming the Genie: What 6 months with Claude Code taught me about coding agent,**
AI coding assistants are powerful ā but like a genie, they do exactly what you ask, not what you mean. In this talk I share what I've learned from 6 months using Claude Code in real projects: the failure modes nobody talks about (context collapse, token-burning spirals, silent over-reliance), my actual setup and CLAUDE.md, and the principles I now live by.
*Benjamin Tarenne, Senior Full Stack Software Engineer building products for Allianz and Claude Code Barcelona community co-organizer.*
**AI Mythbusters: Debunking LinkedIn BS**
From "AI is going to replace all devs", "AI already thinks" and "AI learns from your chats", to "with a RAG, AI will never hallucinate again" or "APIs are dead, long live MCPs", in this talk we'll do something highly disruptive in the tech industry: revisit some AI basic concepts.
We'll go through some of the most persistent myths about artificial intelligence with no doomsaying, no hype, a hint of embarrassment in some cases, and something very old school but effective: evidence.
Warning - You might leave with fewer certainties than you came in with. That's exactly the point.
*Maite Malavia, Solutions Architect & AI Consultant partner at Zenital and Claude Code Barcelona community co-organizer.*
***
**What to expect**
This community is being built around solid engineering practices, not vibe coding. We want to explore what it really means to do agentic coding well, and how Claude Code fits into a professional engineering workflow.
We have prepared some content around the basics of agentic coding and AI to get the conversation started, but we'd love to hear from you too!
š **Interested in presenting something?** If you have a topic, use case, or experience related to Claude Code and engineering practices, we'd love to have you on stage. Drop a comment below or reach out directly!

šļø **Charlas**
**Domando al genio: lo que 6 meses con Claude Code me han enseñado sobre los agentes de programación**
Los asistentes de programación con IA son potentes ā pero, como un genio, hacen exactamente lo que les pides, no lo que realmente quieres decir. En esta charla comparto lo que he aprendido tras 6 meses usando Claude Code en proyectos reales: los modos de fallo de los que nadie habla (colapso de contexto, espirales de consumo de tokens, dependencia silenciosa), mi configuración real y mi CLAUDE.md, y los principios por los que ahora me guĆo.
***Benjamin Tarenne***\*, Senior Full Stack Software Engineer desarrollando productos para Allianz y coorganizador de la comunidad Claude Code Barcelona.\*
***
**Cazadores de mitos de la IA: desmontando el āhumoā de LinkedIn**
Desde āla IA va a reemplazar a todos los desarrolladoresā, āla IA ya piensaā o āla IA aprende de tus chatsā, hasta ācon un RAG la IA dejarĆ” de alucinarā o ālas APIs han muerto, larga vida a los MCPsā, en esta charla haremos algo altamente disruptivo en la industria tecnológica: revisar algunos conceptos bĆ”sicos de la IA.
Recorreremos algunos de los mitos mƔs persistentes sobre la inteligencia artificial sin catastrofismo, sin hype, con un toque de VA en algunos casos y algo muy old school pero efectivo: evidencia.
ā ļø Advertencia: puede que salgas con menos certezas de las que tenĆas al entrar. Ese es precisamente el objetivo.

**¿Qué esperamos?**
Esta comunidad quiere construirse alrededor de buenas prĆ”cticas de ingenierĆa, no del vibe coding. Queremos explorar quĆ© significa realmente hacer agentic coding bien, y cómo Claude Code encaja en un flujo de trabajo de ingenierĆa profesional.
Hemos preparado contenido sobre los fundamentos del agentic coding y la IA para arrancar la conversación. Ā”Pero nos encantarĆa contar tambiĆ©n contigo!
