Cloud Platforms CH - Co-Defining Platforms
Hi everyone!
We’re continuing the conversation. For the next **Cloud Platforms Switzerland Meetup**, we’re moving from listening to *working together*.
Join us on **24.02.26** at **18:00 at isolutions @ Circle ZH** for a short welcome before we dive straight in.
This edition is about **co-defining cloud platforms** \- and questioning the idea that a single\, universal platform model can realistically serve every organization\, team\, or context\.
️ At **18:35**, **Philipp Kuntschik and Marcel Wiedemeier** will set the stage with a structured introduction to platform definitions. What do we actually mean when we talk about “platforms”? Which definitions hold up in practice, and where do they start to fall apart?
️ From there, we’ll shift into a **hands-on workshop format**. After a brief setup, we’ll split into groups by **platform type** and work through concrete questions around scope, responsibilities, and trade-offs. The objective isn’t to force alignment - it’s to make differences explicit and actionable.
Each group will briefly present their key takeaways, followed by an open discussion to compare patterns, tensions, and open questions across platform types.
We’ll conclude the structured part around **20:00**, then move into networking and apéro , and wrap up the evening at **21:00**.
If you’re involved in designing, operating, or governing cloud platforms - and you’re not fully convinced that existing models fit your reality - you’ll feel right at home.
See you there!

Conversational AI Design: A Practical Field Guide
**About the talk**
Conversational assistants aren’t “just another feature”. They are full experiences shaped by countless design decisions that must hold up in real life: messy inputs, high expectations, edge cases, and the constant tension between speed, quality, and cost.
In this talk, Gea and Alberto share what they’ve learned while designing AI-enabled assistants in different contexts (from support to retail-like journeys). Instead of focusing on hype or theory, they’ll unpack the practical choices that make the difference: how to keep conversations actionable, how to design a consistent “voice” without overdoing personality, how to define (or intentionally limit) the assistant’s identity, and how the interface and the underlying logic need to evolve together.
They’ll also touch the less glamorous, but most decisive parts of the work: when AI is the right tool (and when it isn’t), why data is the elephant in the room, what “testing” means in conversational design, and how to guide users so the assistant is easy to understand and hard to misuse without overwhelming them.
Expect a set of clear takeaways you can reuse with your own team, whether you’re starting from scratch or improving something already in production, shared through real design trade-offs, not spoilers.

The LTT Team
Die Planungsillusion besiegen
Warum machen kluge Teams schlechte Pläne? Daniel Kahneman, Nobelpreisträger und Autor von „Schnelles Denken, langsames Denken", hat bewiesen, dass unser Gehirn buchstäblich darauf programmiert ist, übermässig optimistisch zu sein. Wir fallen auf die „Planungsillusion" herein, ignorieren Fakten und glauben, unser aktuelles Projekt sei „besonders".
Nimm an diesem Meetup teil, in welchem wir aufhören, gegen unsere Biologie anzukämpfen, und anfangen, sie zu nutzen. Mit Liberating Structures erforschen wir gemeinsam, wie dein Team von System 1 (Intuition/Rauschen) zu System 2 (Statistik/Genauigkeit) bewegen kann.
**Was wir lernen werden**:
* **Die versteckten Kosten von Rauschen**: Warum Ihre „Confidence Votes" und „Story Points" möglicherweise Ihre Vorhersagbarkeit untergraben.
* **Die Kraft der „Aussenperspektive":** Wie Sie die historischen Daten Ihres Teams nutzen, um Prognosen zu erstellen, die tatsächlich Bestand haben.
* **Tools und praktiken für Entscheidungshygiene:** Ein praktischer Einblick, wie Sie Monte Carlo Simulationen nutzen um ein „Ich denke" in „Die Daten zeigen" verwandeln.
* **Szenarioplanung:** Wie Sie „Best-Case/Worst-Case"-Roadmaps für Stakeholder präsentieren, die Vertrauen aufbauen statt falsche Hoffnungen zu wecken.
**Peter Zylka-Greger** arbeitet seit Jahren mit Teams weltweit und erlebt, was grossartige Teams erreichen können. Erfolg braucht jedoch die richtigen Techniken, emotionale Intelligenz und das passende Werkzeug. Oft sieht er frustrierte Teammitglieder und überforderte Manager, weil Menschen in Meetings ertrinken statt Wert zu liefern. Menschen wollen beitragen, wir müssen sie einfach lassen.
**Benjamin Huser-Berta** etabliert flow-basiertes Portfolio-Management in Unternehmen verschiedener Grössen. Als Entwickler des Lighthouse-Tools vermittelt er die Prinzipien durch praktische, datengestützte Einblicke. Seine Erfahrung als Software Engineer nutzt er, um Wissen fundiert, umsetzbar und direkt mit realen Herausforderungen zu vermitteln.
In Zusammenarbeit mit dem SwissICT und AarauImpact.

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
