Spec-Driven Development in Practice: How AI Simplify Full-Stack Java
Together with Capgemini, we’d like to invite you to our talk in June. This time, we’ll be discussing spec-driven development with Simon Martinelli.
**Spec-Driven Development in Practice: How AI Simplify Full-Stack Java**
AI is transforming how we develop software, but many teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic. What if specifications became the single source of truth instead?
This session introduces Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP), a practical approach in which developers write clear, structured requirements, and AI generates everything else: diagrams, code, and tests. When requirements change, the system stays consistent automatically.
Based on a real-world Java project built with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, the most productive and secure web framework for Java, you’ll see how SDD keeps business rules, data access, and UI perfectly aligned.
Join this session to learn how AIUP helps Java developers deliver applications faster, with less boilerplate and more focus on what really matters: understanding the domain.
Most teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic.
In this session, you’ll learn how Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP) let you define requirements once and generate consistent Java code, diagrams, and tests automatically.
Based on a real project with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, this talk shows how to build faster, safer, and more maintainable full-stack Java applications.
**Simon Martinelli**
Simon Martinelli is a Java Champion, Vaadin Champion, and Oracle ACE Pro with over three decades of experience as a software architect, developer, consultant, and trainer. He is the creator of the AI Unified Process (AIUP) and a strong advocate of Spec-Driven Development.
As the owner of Martinelli LLC, he coaches teams to get up to speed with AI-driven development. He regularly shares his insights through international conferences, articles, and his blog, Keep IT Simple (https://martinelli.ch), where he writes about AI, architecture, and modern Java development.
He is also a lecturer at two universities in Switzerland, where he teaches software architecture, persistence, DevOps, and cloud-native development.

Product Lifecycle Management Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
What happens when PMs start shipping features themselves?
What happens when PMs stop watching engineers code — and start shipping themselves?
You’ve probably heard the stories. Maybe you’ve already tried it in your own company. AI is changing how product teams build, collaborate, and ship — fast.
Join us for an evening with product leaders sharing real-world experience building and shipping customer-facing features with AI, not just internal demos and experiments.
We’ll talk about PMs opening PRs, non-devs contributing directly to production, and what actually changes when the whole team gets closer to the codebase.
This event is designed for Product Managers and Product Leaders who want to understand how product roles, collaboration, and development processes are evolving in the AI era.
**Agenda**
18:15 – Doors open for snacks, drinks, and networking
19:00 – Welcome from ProductTank Berlin
19:10 – Opening the PR is just the beginning, Dmitry Gorshkov
19:40 – What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase, Elena Berendeeva
20:10 – Networking
21:30 – Event ends
Please note:
- Please bring your IDs as you’ll need it when entering the venue.
- The event is RSVP only: to enter, you must RSVP here on Meetup.
- We'd like to capture the event with photographs for promotional purposes, such as sharing on LinkedIn after the event. If you have any concerns or preferences regarding this, please feel free to let us know beforehand.
**Opening the PR is just the beginning**
Dmitry will show how to go deep into the codebase as a PM and make it worth the effort. Crafting code is time consuming, so should PMs code instead of doing PM work? Absolutely. But you must come prepared.
About the speaker
[Dmitry Gorshkov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmitrygorshkov?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a lead product manager at Finom, a Dutch fintech superapp for small businesses. Dmitry has shipped successful products at N26, Taxfix and Cut the Rope, among others - and has more than a decade of product management experience.
**What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase**
A year ago, we let PMs, designers, and QA contribute directly to our existing codebase using AI. What followed wasn’t just faster shipping – it was a quiet shift in how our team made decisions, handled ownership, and thought about their roles. This is that story.
About the speaker
[Elena Berendeeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/berendeeva-elena?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a PM at JetBrains who spent the last few years building 0-to-1 products – through pivots, sunsets, and a lot of uncertainty. Her most recent product is Matter, an AI prototyping tool that her team – designers, QA, and engineers – used to ship directly to production. She explores AI-native workflows and the evolving role of PMs in agentic product development.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
