At this meetup, we will walk through a practical AI maturity framework for digital product creation. **Product Owner Meetup - Helsinki** is a community where Product Owners come together to celebrate their craft, share real-world experiences, and grow as leaders in their industry. ### **🌱 Join us in the April meetup about AI maturity in product creation** AI is already affecting how product teams work, but many teams still struggle with the same questions: * Where are we today? * Where is AI genuinely useful? * And what should we do next? At this meetup, we will walk through a practical AI maturity framework for digital product creation in e-commerce. It helps product teams assess how AI shows up in discovery, prioritisation, decision-making, delivery, and customer experience 👉…and identify the next improvement area. You will get a concrete way to discuss AI maturity with your team, spot the most relevant opportunities, and avoid getting stuck between experimentation and real adoption. Expect a practical session and an honest discussion, not AI buzzwords. #### **Speakers** **🎤 Okko Ojala, Senior Architect, Nitor** Introducing the AI Maturity Playbook and how teams can use it to start the conversation around beneficial use of AI in product development **🎤Joakim Sandström, Senior Architect, Nitor** Sharing lessons from applying the framework with Finnair and what happened when the framework met real product work 📍 *Where:* **Nitor Office, Aleksanterinkatu** 46, 6th floor (next to Mummotunneli) 🕕 *When:* **Wednesday, 22nd of April, from 17:30 to 19:30** 🍪 *Bonus:* **Snacks, drinks, and great company!** Through inspiring talks, hands-on discussions, and opportunities to connect with peers, we aim to value and highlight the role of the Product Owner to one of innovation, pride, and strategic impact. Each session brings together practical insights from industry leaders with first-person, real-life stories from local and global product professionals who have tackled challenges and achieved breakthroughs. Whether you’re fine-tuning stakeholder management, mastering prioritisation, or seeking inspiration, you’ll find a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and advance your skills. Join us in shaping a movement where Product Owners are recognised as key drivers of outcome orientation, innovation and value, transforming the profession into a globally celebrated craft. 📍Please note: the downstairs exterior doors lock at **17:00**. If you arrive after this, just ring the doorbell and we will let you in. The event begins at **17:30**.

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
