Agentic Software Modernization: Back to the Roots
**Softwaremodernisierung auf Knopfdruck** ist im Zeitalter von AI Agents der Traum vieler ITler. Ja, ein Agent kann heute schon eine Legacy Codebase über Nacht komplett neu strukturieren. Aber wer übernimmt ab dem nächsten Morgen die **Verantwortung** dafür?
In diesem Vortrag zeigt Markus, wo **agentische Ansätze in der Modernisierung von Softwaresystemen** großen Nutzen stiften, aber auch, was ihnen für den nachhaltigen Erfolg fehlt: Techniken, welche AI Agents an die Leine nehmen. Dazu greifen wir auf bewährte Klassiker der **Legacy-Code-Modernisierung** zurück, welche **agentische Workflows** mehr verantwortbar machen wie etwa Seams zur Begrenzung des „Agent Blast Radius“, Golden Master Testing zum Absichern des aktuellen Verhaltens und Fitness Functions zum messbaren Nachweis von Qualitätsverbesserungen. Dadurch liefern AI Agents weiterhin ein hohes Tempo, doch sie bleiben dank unserer Leitplanken auf der Spur. Denn am Ende zählt nicht, wie viel sich im Code bewegt, sondern ob das Legacy System wirklich vorankommt.
Markus Harrer ([https://markusharrer.de](https://markusharrer.de)) ist Software Evolutionist bei INNOQ und hilft, Softwarearchitekturen strategisch und wirtschaftlich sinnvoll weiterzuentwickeln. Sein derzeitiger Schwerpunkt liegt auf der verantwortungsvollen Modernisierung von Legacy-Systemen, wo er datengetriebene Software Analytics mit generativen AI-Tools kombiniert. Er ist akkreditierter Trainer bei socreatory für iSAQB Foundation Level und Advanced-Level-Modul IMPROVE. Er ist Autor der Bücher „Strategische Spielzüge" und „Qualitätstaktiken" sowie Mitautor von „Software Reviews". Zudem organisiert er das Software Architecture Meetup Nürnberg.
Franklin Method and Myofascial Training
Be-weekly lessons with experienced practitioner Ingrid Wenger.
We want to consciously experience movement together and give our bodies the attention they need. Everyone participates according to their abilities – together, yet each at their own pace.
We work with balls, bands, music, but above all with our imagination and lots of fun. The training is based on the Franklin Method and Karin Gurtner's Slings Myofascial Training. The goal is to increase your physical well-being and open up a new connection to your body. It's wonderful to discover that you already possess many tools within yourself to enhance your quality of life. Simple and without much effort.

Grüner Code, gute Laune – Wie Apps weniger CO₂ pupsen
In den letzten Jahren ist das Bewusstsein für die ökologischen und sozialen Auswirkungen digitaler Technologien stark gewachsen. In dieser Session wollen wir uns wieder auf die grundsätzliche Frage besinnen: Wie bauen wir mobile Apps, die nicht nur gut laufen, sondern auch ein bisschen weniger Planet verbrauchen?
Dieser Vortrag beleuchtet praxisnahe Strategien mit denen sich der ökologische Fußabdruck einer App spürbar senken lässt – von energieeffizientem Code und ressourcenschonendem Design bis hin zu nachhaltiger Infrastrukturwahl und verantwortungsvollem Datenmanagement.
Natürlich wird auch gemessen, nicht nur gehofft: Welche Tools helfen dabei, den CO₂-Impact, den Energieverbrauch oder die Datenlast einer App zu analysieren.
Am Ende des Vortrags haben die Teilnehmenden einen kompakten Überblick über die konkreten Schritte, die sie unternehmen können um ihre App nachhaltiger zu machen und wie sie diesen Fortschritt messen können.

Zertifizierter VSM Coach – Seminar am 5., 12. und 13. März 2026
Ungewissheit, Volatilität und Komplexität nehmen weiterhin zu. Und damit die Anforderungen an wirkungsvolle Führung und Steuerung. Das dreitägige Seminar zum zertifizierten VSM Coach (Metaphorum) bietet eine umfassende Einführung in das Viable System Model (VSM), ein in den 1960er Jahren von Stafford Beer entwickeltes, bewährtes kybernetisches Modell zur Steuerung von Organisationen jeder Grössenordnung.
Das Viable System Model bildete u.a. in den 1980er Jahren eine wesentliche Grundlage für die Entwicklung des St. Galler Management Modells durch Hans Ulrich und findet sich in Teilen auch in jüngeren Organisationsmodellen wieder. Die jüngsten Entwicklungen im Bereich der künstlichen Intelligenz und die sich daraus ergebenden Möglichkeiten für Führung und Steuerung unterstreichen den Wert und die Zeitlosigkeit des universell anwendbaren Modells, das sein Potenzial aus 4 Mrd. Jahren Evolution bezieht.
**Ziele des Seminars**
Die Teilnehmenden werden umfassend befähigt, Organisationen nach den Prinzipien des Viable System Models systematisch zu analysieren, neu auszurichten und nachhaltig zu optimieren. Sie verstehen und beherrschen die fünf Steuerungsfunktionen der Systeme 1 bis 5 und sind in der Lage, das VSM praktisch anzuwenden und Organisationen effektiv zu transformieren.
Damit erreichen sie eine massgeschneiderte und lückenlose Entscheidungs- und Kommunikationsstruktur, die Agilisierung und Effektivierung des Unternehmens, eine klarere Fokussierung auf Kundennutzen, die Sicherstellung von Komplexitätsfähigkeit bei gleichzeitiger Robustheit, die Sicherstellung kontinuierlicher Anpassung (Lernen & Innovieren), die Klarheit über Verantwortung und Voraussetzungen wirksamer Führung, das Ausschöpfen von Verflachungs- und Vereinfachungspotentialen, die Auflösung von Konfliktherden, das Abwerfen von «Organisationsballast» sowie die Auflösung der Kommunikationsblockaden.

AI Agents Over Coffee
Join us for the very first Coffee & AI Agents meetup!
A relaxed, no-pressure coffee chat to talk about AI agents: what they are today, how they can actually help in work and business, what’s worth designing, where the opportunities and risks are, and how they might fit real workflows.
No presentations, no jargon, no sales pitches. Just good coffee, a small group, and open conversation.
Who should come:
* People interested in AI agents and wanting to discuss designing them (planning workflows, goals, tools, behaviors — no coding needed)
* People from any industry who have tasks or processes they'd love to automate with agents and want to connect with others thinking about building them
Format: Drop in anytime from 6:00 PM onwards (we'll wrap up naturally around 8:00 PM or when people start heading out). We'll start with quick intros (“What brought you here?” or “One thing you’d love an agent to handle?”) then let the discussion flow freely.
**Limited to 10 spots** for a cozy, conversational group — RSVP to secure your place.
Venue: ViCafe Europaallee Europaallee 20 8004 Zürich
See you there — bring your curiosity and enjoy the coffee! ☕🤖

Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.
As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact?
Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization.
We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM.

Located in: The Shops at Worthington

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
