**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.

Join a group of builders who are actively working on their own companies. This is a low-key meetup focused on real exchange, ideas, challenges, and insights, in an intimate setting. No pitches. No sales. No networking theatre. Note: This meetup is reserved for **full-time founders**.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

## Hey Columbus WIP peeps! ## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for?? **\-\-\-\-\-\-** **A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.** **March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM** **Rev1 -- NEW SPACE** **330 Rush Alley #100** **Parking Options:** • **Rev1 at The Peninsula** • **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St. • **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St. • **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St. • **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St. • **Metered Street Parking** **What moves are you making?** A promotion you’re working toward. A role change you’re considering. A bigger leadership opportunity. A conversation that needs to happen. A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind. For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments. **Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time. Here’s how it will work: • You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now • You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants) • Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area • We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation ### Coaching Topics: • Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team) • Career Transitions & What’s Next • Growing Into Leadership • Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes • Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about. Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful. If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10. RSVP here!

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.

Hey Everyone! Let's meet at Belle's Bread Bakery and Cafe. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well. This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

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. 📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St Located in: The Shops at Worthington Ample parking is available. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Start your morning with clarity and connection — we hope to see you there! ☀️
