**Anotace přednášky:** Většina QA týmů se topí ve spoustě dat, ale málokdo dokáže skutečně říct: tato data nám skutečně pomáhají rozhodovat. Přestaňte stavět obří dashboardy, které nikdo nečte. V této přednášce si ukážeme, jak rozklíčovat chaos mezi metrikami, KPI a OKR. Zjistíte, jak vybrat ukazatele, které reálně snižují rizika a zvyšují důvěru v každou dodanou verzi. Probereme konkrétní rozdíly v měření pro agilní týmy i robustní enterprise QA a ukážeme si, jak nastavit systém, který skutečně zrychluje delivery. **O speakerovi:** **Saša Zejnilović** zastává roli Lead Data Engineer v ABSA. Do ABSA nastoupil před 7 lety jako QA. Celkově má v IT 11 let zkušeností. Působí jako lektor ve společnosti Tredgate. Vedl také týmy 30+ lidí a pomáhal mnoha projektům. V srdci ale nadále zůstává testerem. Těšíme se - organizátoři [Pro:]Test! **Meetup probíhá pouze osobně bez streamování.

What if dating wasn’t about impressing? What if it wasn’t about swiping, judging, or performing? What if it was about being present, feeling, and truly meeting another person? This is not speed dating. This is slow, intentional connection. A carefully guided journey designed to move you out of the mind and into the body, out of small talk and into deep conversation. What Awaits You: Awakening Presence – Cacao ceremony, breathwork, and gentle relaxation to open the senses. Silent Connection – Embodiment exercises to feel connection before words. Deep Talks– Crafted with love questions that go beyond small talk. Intuitive Pairing – A closing round where you follow your inner pull to connect. Connection isn’t about finding the “right” person—it’s about discovering what happens when you truly see and are seen. 6 couples only. Slow, beautiful encounters facilitated by Katya Kokkalou

Phil Royston **9:35 - 9:55** Coffee break a networking **9:55 - 10:25** [CZ] Jak agenti pomáhají v testingu Miroslav Renda **10:25 - 11:00** Závěrečná diskuse a networking *** **Témata a přednášející** *** **[EN] Struggling to Get Software Live?** Delays in testing? Last-minute defects? Painful releases? Frustrated business stakeholders? Customer complaints? Many organisations try to fix this by “improving testing”. But here's a secret: better testing can often make things slower and more expensive. So what’s really going wrong? At this Business Breakfast, we’ll explore why release problems are often not a problem in testing. In an increasingly unpredictable marketplace, with competitors challenging from all sides, and customers demanding more and more, we are all under pressure to continuously deliver new features quickly and cheaply. Under this sort of pressure, quality sometimes gets pushed to one side, as leaders focus on time and money. That is until you get to testing, when it's the poor quality that you have accumulated that slows you down, costs you money and makes your hair go grey. The way to achieve speed and reduce costs is to build in quality at every step of the delivery lifecycle. These are the proven principles of quality engineering that are the foundations of the high-performing DevOps teams in the world's most successful companies. Their laser focus on quality makes them competitive. The good news is that you can get the same results in whatever SDLC model you are following. Even waterfall. In the talk we will explain why the test phase can become a bottleneck and why that wastes a lot of time and money. We will then explain how testing, if applied smartly in the right places, can actually reduce waste and smooth the flow of your team's work - enabling you to shorten time to market, improve customer and stakeholder satisfaction, and increase your ROI. **O přednášejícím** **Phil Royston** Po své cestě v IT světě\, která začala koncem 80\. let\, v roce 2002 prakticky spadl do světa testování softwaru\. Od té doby se neohlédl zpět a stále miluje to co dělá\. V roce 2013 spoluzaložil společnost Tesena \| Smart Testing s mírně ambiciózním\, ale velmi vážně zamýšleným cílem změnit svět testování softwaru\. Rád spolupracuje s našimi klienty\, aby jim pomohl vyřešit problémy s testováním a kvalitou softwaru na individuální\, týmové\, skupinové a organizační úrovni\. Kromě svého závazku zvyšovat kvalitu softwaru se věnuje také vzdělávání a profesnímu rozvoji\. Jako lektor kurzů předává své rozsáhlé znalosti a zkušenosti a formuje další generaci IT profesionálů\. Phil pravidelně sdílí to\, co se naučil jako řečník\, na konferencích\, čímž dále přispívá k růstu a vývoji odvětví\. *** **[CZ] Jak agenti pomáhají v testingu** AI pomocníci rychle pronikají do všech oblastí našich životů, testing nevyjímaje. V krátkých praktických ukázkách představíme v manažerské úrovni detailu konkrétní scénáře, kde nástroje jako Copilot Studio a Rovo automatizují klíčové činnosti v SDLC, na nichž se podílejí testerské role. Od review specifikací přes tvorbu akceptačních kritérií až po generování testovacích případů přímo z Jiry a Confluence. Představíme snadno uchopitelné náměty pro nastartování či prohloubení vaší AI transformace. **O přednášejícím** **Miroslav Renda** Mirek se pohybuje v různých projektových rolích v IT businessu více než 25 let. Posledních 8 let si v roli test managera užíval zajímavé projekty ve velkých českých bankách a v oblasti automotive.

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

**How to take control of your subconscious and harness its power!** Join us for an eye-opening lecture where the speaker will break down complex ideas in a clear and practical way. You’ll gain insights into: ✅ The true definition of the subconscious ✅ How it generates unwanted emotions ✅ Its real purpose and function ✅ What determines the pressure it exerts on you And the most important topic: **How do you take control of your subconscious!** But this isn’t just another lecture where you sit and listen passively. It’s interactive and engaging—you can ask questions at any time. 📅 Reserve your spot now! Seats are limited, so don’t wait too long to sign up. Location: 1266 Dublin Rd, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
