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.

PostgreSQL June Meetup
Our June Meetup is coming up!
Thanks to Snowflake for sponsoring us.
**Please register with your real name and email addres and bring a photo id.** You will need to check in upon entry.
We are happy to have David Wheeler as our speaker this time. David is ais a long-time PostgreSQL contributor, and creator of Sqitch, a database change management system; PGXN, the PostgreSQL Extension Network; pgTAP, a database test framework, and CITEXT2, the case-insensitive data type. After stints with PostgreSQL Experts, iovation, and The New York Times, he now works on PostgreSQL extensions for ClickHouse. He lives in New York City with his artist wife when they're not exchanging homes overseas.
His talk is:
*How to automatically release your extensions on PGXN*
Today there is no one central distribution point for PostgreSQL extensions. The largest the extension source distribution service PGXN. It contains approximately a third of all known publicly-available extensions, but even those are not all up-to-date.
PGXN aims to be the root registry for all extension releases, and plans to publish all releases to allow downstream registries to automate their build processes, as well. As such, it benefits extension developers and the broader PostgreSQL community when it contains up-to-date releases of all known extensions.
I'll show you the process to set up PGXN distribution for your extensions, and the tooling to automate releases to keep it up-to-date. The main things to understand are Git, JSON, and GitHub workflows. At the end of the session, you'l have all the information you need to quickly and automatically publish your extension on PGXN.
Akt x Anatomie / Life Drawing x Anatomy
Curious about starting life drawing? Or want to deepen your practice?
Join us at Kunstraum Heartspace, where we enjoy a wonderful life drawing session every Wednesday evening!
Our teacher Thorsten has many years of experience and will gently guide you to your next level. This course is designed for beginners as well as experienced life drawing artists.
Our models change weekly. They allow us to practice short and long poses. This allows your eye to train in recognising movement and form, while also giving you enough time to study the model more closely.
In addition, every week, we include a short excursion into different aspects of figurative drawing – be it anatomical issues, lighting, or the structure of the human figure.
You can join and pause at any time, as you will receive individual guidance.
**Materials:**
* Please bring pencils, sharpeners, and erasers!
* We provide paper, but of course, you can bring your own sketch book or preferred paper types.
**Tickets:**

**🌳 Über das Meetup**
Dieses Meetup ist eine gemeinsame Besprechung des Buches "Befreiung von Scham & Schuld".
Wir unterhalten uns darüber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und welche Bedeutung es für unser Leben hat.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben.**
Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen).
.
**Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.**
.
+++++++++++++++++
**🌻 Mehr zum Inhalt**
Manchmal funktionieren Freundschaften nicht, weil man
* sich nicht öffnen kann,
* zu schüchtern ist,
* andere Menschen nicht an sich heran lässt
* klammert
* zu viel will
* wegrennt
* nicht die richtigen Menschen trifft
* schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat
* oder oder oder ...
.
... alte Themen aus der Kindheit holen einen ein.
.
Ebenso stehen Glaubenssätze wie "ich bin nicht gut genug", "ich bin nicht liebenswert", "Ich bin unfähig", "Ich muss mich beweisen", ... guten Freundschaften im Weg.
.
Das ganze Leben, Partnerschaften und Erfolg im Beruf scheinen von blöden Glaubenssätzen durchsetzt. Bei machen mehr, bei anderen weniger.
.
In dem Buch: **"Befreiung von Scham und Schuld"** von Laurance Heller und Angelika Doerne geht es genau darum:
.
Wie prägen schlechte Kindheitserlebnisse und die Beziehung zu unseren Eltern unsere heutigen Beziehungen.
.
Zur allgemeinen Erleichterung: Nicht nur schlechte Gefühle prägen uns, sondern auch die vielen guten Gefühle 🦋🌞🌻🤗.
.
**Der Stoff ist intensiv. Deshalb gibt es diesen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten.** Ist das Buch für Dich interessant, d**ann komm gern dazu!**
.
**+++++ 😊 Teilnehmer-Stimmen**
.
"Der Austausch hilft mir, das Buch und mich richtig zu verstehen. Das hat Tiefe. Ich mag die Offenheit."
.
"Jede meiner Empfindungen, Körperreaktionen, Gefühle und Gedanken ist nur davon geprägt, wie ich aufgewachsen bin. Das habe ich mit dem Buch verstanden."
.
.
**+++++🔷 Hintergrund**
**👱🏽♂️ Zu mir: Ich bin Georg Preller.**
Seit 4 Jahren betreibe ich die Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de). Ich bin ausgebildeter NLP Lehrtrainer ([DVNLP](https://www.dvnlp.de/)) & Coach.
Ich gebe Workshops über Freundschaft & schreibe ein Buch über Freundschaft.
Mir ist es wichtig, dass Menschen gute & glückliche Freundschaften führen und damit ein friedliches & glückliches Leben führen.
.
Auf meiner Websiete findest Du viele Tipps, wie man gute Freundschaften anbahnt.
.
Zurzeit erforsche ich tiefe Themen der Psychologie. Ich will wissen, wie alte Prägungen uns im Wege stehen, die richtigen Freundschaften zu knüpfen. **Dieses Buch ist Teil dieser Forschung.**
.
**🎯 Andere Workshops**
In der Meetup-Gruppe findest Du noch andere Workshop, zu ähnlichen Themen. Zum Beispiel:
* **Bindungsstile & Bindungstypen** \- wie sie unsere Freundschaften und Beziehungen beeinflussen

**On June 12th, 2026, we will gather graduates, mentors, investors, friends and future founders to celebrate the newest Graduates of the Spring chapter of the Founder Institute Berlin / Germany. In addition to the Graduation Ceremony, guests will be treated to short business pitches from the graduates.**
**ATTENTION:** We will run this event as a hybrid event with the possibility to attend on site in Berlin! We will charge a small cover charge for snacks & 1 drink for those joining us on site! Book your ticket here: **[https://t1p.de/Graduation2026_Spring-FI](https://t1p.de/Graduation2026_Spring-FI)**
We expect to see around 10 companies graduating from a wide array of topics ranging from helping perfume enthusiasts find the perfect scent, a platform for configuring and ordering the perfect robot, to an easy-to-deploy ERP tailored for SMEs, and even a powerful solution for managing and growing your savings, and more!
This is the last chance to see the Spring 2026 cohort in its entirety and the first chance to see them as Founder Institute graduated companies!
The [Founder Institute](https://fi.co/s/Berlin) startup accelerator is an extremely challenging program, and graduating is a significant achievement. In fact, less than 40% of applicants are accepted to the program, and less than 30% of those generally make it through. Being a Founder Institute Graduate Company is a seal of approval, signifying that company's founders, mission, model, and plans are being validated by experienced startup CEOs.

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.
