This is a joint meetup with [DDD-Vienna](https://www.meetup.com/ddd-vienna/) **Agenda** 🕕 **18:00** – Doors open at TechTalk 🕡 **18:15** – Intro & Talk 🗣️ 🕗 **19:20** – Networking, 🍕Food & 🍻Drinks sponsored by [TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/) 🎉 **Domain-Driven Transformation—Modularizing and Modernizing Legacy Software** Starting a new project from scratch with a clean slate is one thing; tackling legacy systems with chaotic architectures is another. Many teams inherit systems described as “Monoliths” or “Big Balls of Mud,” and this talk focuses on how to bring order to such challenges. Participants will learn how to evaluate their current systems and identify steps to introduce—or restore—structure. Using Collaborative Modeling, attendees will gain actionable insights to design a clear and future-ready architecture. The talk will equip participants with practical strategies to address common challenges, such as BBOM architecture, anemic domain models, and disorganized teams. By the end of the session, attendees will have a catalog of proven refactorings, actionable heuristics, and concrete tools to immediately evolve their own projects. **About Henning Schwentner:** Henning loves programming in high quality. He lives this passion as coder, coach, and consultant at WPS – Workplace Solutions. There he helps teams to structure their monoliths or to build new systems from the beginning with a sustainable architecture. Microservices or self-contained systems are often the result.

Erfolg ist kein Zufall – wie Kabbala (spirituelle Zahlenlehre) dein Business schneller wachsen lässt. Viele Unternehmerinnen arbeiten hart, investieren Zeit, Energie und Leidenschaft in ihr Business – und trotzdem fühlt sich Wachstum manchmal schwer oder blockiert an. Warum gehen manche Wege scheinbar mühelos auf, während andere trotz großer Anstrengung stagnieren? In diesem Workshop lernst du eine Perspektive kennen, die seit Jahrhunderten genutzt wird, um Menschen, Potenziale und Entscheidungen besser zu verstehen: die Kabbala. Die Kabbala ist ein uraltes Weisheitssystem, das anhand von Zahlen die energetische Struktur eines Menschen sichtbar macht. Sie zeigt, welche Talente in dir angelegt sind, welche Herausforderungen dich wachsen lassen und welche Entscheidungen wirklich zu deinem Weg passen. Gerade im Business kann dieses Wissen ein enormer Hebel sein. Wenn du deine eigene Potenzialarchitektur verstehst, triffst du klarere Entscheidungen, führst authentischer und nutzt deine Energie gezielter. In diesem Workshop erfährst du unter anderem: • warum Erfolg nicht nur Strategie, sondern auch Selbstkenntnis ist • welche Rolle deine Zahlen für dein Business spielen • wie du typische Businessblockaden erkennst und auflöst • warum viele Unternehmerinnen gegen ihre eigene Energie arbeiten • wie du dein Business stärker aus deiner natürlichen Stärke herausführst Dieser Workshop verbindet Business, Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und uraltes Weisheitswissen auf eine inspirierende und zugleich sehr praktische Weise. Wenn du spürst, dass in deinem Business noch mehr Potenzial steckt, als du aktuell lebst, wird dieser Abend dir neue Perspektiven eröffnen. ⸻ **Über die Vortragende** Martina Karina Fischer ist Holistic Health & Leadership Coach und Kabbalistin. In ihrer Arbeit verbindet sie moderne Coachingmethoden mit der jahrtausendealten Weisheit der Kabbala, um Menschen dabei zu unterstützen, ihre Potenziale zu entfalten, innere Klarheit zu gewinnen und ihren eigenen Weg authentisch zu führen. Sie begleitet Unternehmerinnen, Führungskräfte und Menschen in verantwortungsvollen Positionen dabei, ihre innere Architektur zu verstehen und daraus bewusst Entscheidungen für Business und Leben zu treffen, die zu langfristigem Erfolg führen.

**Our second Product Owner Club is coming up and this time we’re diving into one of the biggest shifts currently reshaping our roles as product people: AI.** We’re excited to be **hosted by** **SQUER** **📍 [Althanstraße 4/3/63, 1090 Wien](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zysnKBZEobcA2pHz5)** **Thank you for helping the product community come together!** **Agenda:** 🕕 18:00 — Doors open & welcome 🎤 18:30 — Session #1: Alexander Schwingenschrot 🎤 19:15 — Session #2: Maurizio Rinder & Julian Tandler 🍕 20:00 — Networking with drinks & pizza **Session #1 by Alexander Schwingenschrot – Senior Consultant / AI-Manager @ adesso Austria GmbH** **The Product Owner as an "Intellectual Tourist"? How Psychological Safety Rescues Our Critical Thinking from AI.** You know the feeling: The backlog is overflowing, pressure is high, and suddenly GenAI generates your user stories, acceptance criteria, and market analyses in seconds. Sounds like a dream, right? The ticket is ready, let the sprint begin. But what happens when we switch our thinking to "autopilot"? We risk becoming mere "middle managers of our own thoughts," outsourcing the hard work of critical thinking to an algorithm. AI makes us incredibly fast—but without true psychological safety within the team to challenge the machine (and each other), we degrade into mere rubber-stampers. That’s not just dangerous for the product; it fundamentally alters the core of what Product Ownership is all about. In his talk, Alexander breaks down: * why AI becomes an innovation killer without a culture that embraces failure (Automation Bias), * what the "Intellectual Tourist" concept actually means for your daily Product Discovery, and * how you as a PO can maintain "Meaningful Human Control" without sacrificing the speed of AI. **Session #2 by Maurizio Rinder, Lead Product Engineer @ SQUER & Julian Tandler, Principal Consultant Product Management @ SQUER** **What If the Answer to Every Feature Debate Was "Let's Find Out This Week"? A PM's Guide to AI in 2026** You know the drill: Three stakeholders, three opinions, no data. Everyone argues about what to build next, and two months later only a handful of people used the feature. But what if "let's just find out" was a real answer? When AI makes building cheap, you can stop debating and start testing. That's not just a new tool in your PM toolkit, it's a structural shift in what the role is about. In his talk, * Julian breaks down what's actually changing, and goes hands-on with real examples, * Before Maurizio makes the case why this redefines what it means to be a developer, too. **Like last time, the sessions will be hands-on and interactive. There will be space to discuss, challenge, and exchange with fellow colleagues.** We’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones to the community. **Connect**... get to learn peers from different industries. **Learn**... how other Product Leaders deal with different situations. **Profit**... from shared experiences and thrive even more in your role. **Please be fair and only click “attend” on Meetup if you’re truly planning to join, so we can plan foods and drinks accordingly.** Last time we had a **show-rate of 92%**, let's keep this up 😃 **Best regards, Alex & Miriam**

### Come and discover Dr. David Berceli’s body-based method, TRE® — Tension, Stress & Trauma Release Exercises. This practice supports our natural self-healing capacity and helps the body process and release accumulated stress in a natural way. Have you ever seen a dog start trembling during New Year’s fireworks? Or a bird that, after flying into a window, lies still for a while and then shakes? Have you ever trembled after a shock or stressful event? These are all natural responses — the body’s way of helping us discharge and “shake out” tension. TRE® technique activates this ancient wisdom within us. * TRE® safely activates the body’s natural reflex of shaking or vibrating, which helps calm the nervous system and release muscular tension. When this process occurs in a safe and controlled environment, the body naturally returns to a balanced state. * TRE® gently releases deep-seated stress and physical tension stored in the body, promoting relaxation and calmness. * TRE® enhances physical, emotional, and mental resilience, helping individuals feel more grounded and balanced. Come and discover Dr. David Berceli’s body-based method! More info: https://floraintheflow.com/tre **Structure of the class** \- check in round \- what is TRE®? What is neurogenic tremor? \- gentle warm\-up practices & first bodily experience about TRE® \- integration \- open discussion \(sharing about the first experience\, benefits of TRE® practise\, questions\, etc\.\) **Date & Venue**: 11 April (Saturday) 9:30-11:30 Schleiergasse 6, Vienna bezirk 10 The workshop will be held in English. **Registration**: [https://forms.gle/i5UF4v49usQPwZbNA](https://forms.gle/i5UF4v49usQPwZbNA) Price: 40€

That strategy creates results—but it also creates blind spots. Because real growth doesn’t come from eliminating the “bad.” It comes from integrating the full spectrum. **Beyond good and bad is where the magic happens.** Polarity invites a different way of operating: not choosing one side, but expanding your capacity to hold both. Confidence and doubt. Control and surrender. Success and failure. When you stop rejecting parts of your experience, you unlock a deeper level of clarity, resilience, and creative power. At this LibaTea meetup, we explore what it means to move beyond binary thinking and into wholeness—where nothing needs to be suppressed, and everything can be used. This is not a motivational talk. It is a room of high-performing expats and entrepreneurs exploring a more complete way to think, lead, and live. Expect sharp conversations, honest perspectives, and people who are ready to go deeper. **You will explore:** * Why high performers often reject parts of themselves that actually drive growth * The hidden cost of labeling experiences as purely “good” or “bad” * How integrating the full spectrum increases clarity, adaptability, and performance * How polarity thinking expands leadership, relationships, and decision-making * This meetup is for founders, creators, investors, executives, and ambitious professionals in Vienna who want to expand beyond conventional thinking and operate with more depth, awareness, and impact. **Event flow (ca 90 minutes):** * Arrival & welcome * Breath, tea orders * Guided reflection rounds * Closing integration **About LibaTea** LibaTea is a community exploring liberation through reflection, conversation, and community. We host weekly tea circles and monthly masterminds that bring together thoughtful people interested in personal growth, wellbeing, and meaningful connection. **Why tea?** Tea rituals have been used for centuries to create presence and connection. By slowing down and sharing tea together, we create a simple but powerful setting for reflection, insight, and real connection.

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional
