Over the years\, changes were made\, often wi thout adequate documentation. Software quality suffers as the system bec omes more and more complex. This presentation will provide a case study of bringing requirements management and other related process improvemen ts to a legacy software product — one which has been successful for over twenty years. \;\n \;\nA cross-functional team of management unde rtook a project to improve significantly the processes related to requir ements. This presentation describes the lessons learned while undertakin g this project. Among these are: \;\n• A good implementation start is essential. Outside consultants are useful. Fully involve all stakeholde rs. \;\n• Different audiences have different needs. Find effective wa ys to communicate to each audience. \;\n• Be pragmatic when choosing what requirements to write and how much effort to put into describing th e current system. \;\n• Leverage tool adoption to make changes that a re more general to the software development process. \;\n \;\nAuth or Bio: \;\nBill Baker is a software development manager at Sage in B eaverton Oregon.

Hosted by the Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN). \;\n \;\n \;\nAbstract \;\nMany of you may have hear d about "\;wicked problems"\;. For example\, in many cases one can define the problem\, then pursue a solution\; but with wicked proble ms\, one can't define the problem well until they finally have the solut ion. Wicked problems have several other interesting characteristics as well. An approach of "\;taming wicked problems"\; contradicts t he wisdom of trying to make the nature and complexity of the solution fi t the nature and \;\ncomplexity of the problem. \;\n \;\nThe co ncept of wicked problems can be used as a paradigm for understanding man y real world situations\, including many in software development\, manag ing teams and leading projects\, organizational change\, strategic plann ing\, and more. In this presentation\, you'll hear about 7 principles t hat can be applied for dealing with wicked problems. We'll look at seve ral examples of problems\, some more wicked than others\, and how to ana lyze and deal with them. We'll also look at several seminal ideas in so ftware engineering and see how the principles were used. Finally\, we'l l gather some problems from the audience and practice characterizing the problems and applying the principles for planning how to cope with them . \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio \;\nBill Gilmore has worked in s oftware engineering for over 20 years in various development\, managemen t\, process and consulting roles. He worked in two small companies\, the n worked at the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon. He mo ved to Oregon in 1993 to head up the Software Process Improvement progra m at Tektronix. Most recently he worked at Intel for 10 years with sever al product teams and business groups on software product quality\, produ ct life cycles and several areas of software engineering. He led CMM and product life cycle assessments and organized and led follow-on improvem ent programs. Today\, Bill is the President of the Pacific Northwest Sof tware Quality Conference (PNSQC). Bill has a Ph.D. in Astronomy\; has p ublished papers in Software Engineering\, Strategic Planning\, and Astro nomy\; and has presented at several conferences. \;\n \;\n \;\n A Special Treat from PNSQC \;\nPlan on coming early!

Some test teams are adopting a tour-based testing methodology because it’s incredibly good at breaking down testing into manageable chunks. Ho wever\, hackers are paying close attention to systems and developing new targeted attacks to stay one step ahead. \;\n \;\nRafal Los takes you inside the hacker’s world\, identifying the landmarks hackers targe t within applications and showing you how to identify the defects they s eek out. \;\n \;\nLearn what "\;landmarks” are\, how to identi fy them from functional specifications\, and how to tailor negative test ing strategies to different landmark categories. Test teams\, already ch oked for time and resources and now saddled with security testing\, will learn how to pinpoint the defect - from the mountains of vulnerabilitie s often uncovered in security testing - that could compromise the entire application. \;\n \;\nMeet the Speaker: Rafal Los\, Hewlett-Packa rd \;\nRafal Los\, Web Application Security SME with Hewlett-Packard' s Application Security Center (ASC)\, is a 10+ industry veteran who has worked in a variety of security positions - from consultant to Informati on Security Officer in the Fortune 100 - within some of the most demandi ng business environments. \;\n \;\nRafal’s unique blend of technic al expertise and business knowledge enable him to teach audiences about security techniques\, programs and processes that they can both understa nd strategically\, and realistically apply. He has extensive experience in security testing\, risk analysis and management\, penetration testing and architecture and policy. Rafal is an accomplished writer maintainin g 2 popular blogs with numerous appearances in the mainstream media and niche sites such as Slashdot.

Come join Debra Lavell from Intel Corp. as she sh ares a case study taken from a real project from Intel\, where a project manager has been asked to gather and share key learnings from a very im portant software program. The twist – this team has zero travel budget \, complex cross-organizational cultural differences\, and a high level of resistance to change. Debra will discuss how a retrospective is diff erent from other review practices such as post mortems\, after action re views\, etc. She will explain the four phases of a retrospective proces s with emphasis on the role of the facilitator so when you leave\, you c an design and deliver an effective retrospective when you get back to yo ur organizations. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio \;\nDebra Lavell is the Organizational Learning &\; Retrospective Program Manager in the Corp orate Platform Office at Intel Corporation.

Some of us lament the interruptions\, others find it energizing because it’s consistent with notions of Agile — like responding to change over following a plan. I’ve got an idea on how to u se interruptions to focus on testing activities. Multi-tasking is not ev il\, nor does it have to torpedo your project\, but it may require a man agement technique to help you stay sane. Enter Thread-Based Test Managem ent — a way to let interruptions guide you to where you’re needed most. Using a kanban-style dashboard is one way to go with the flow without lo sing your way. Using a spreadsheet with rows to track topics you followe d in a day is another. In this talk\, Jon Bach describes his experiences with a new technique he and his brother James invented that might help you get rid of the shame of feeling undisciplined for letting yourself b e interrupted while being more response-able to the important things tha t need your time and attention. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio \;\nJon ha s over 15 years of experience\, including Fortune 500 and start-up compa nies\, serving in the Quality Assistance and Software Testing domain. He is a co-author of a Microsoft Patterns and Practices book on Acceptance Testing (2010) and is an award-winning keynote speaker for major testin g conferences (STAR\, QAI\, BCS SIGIST). He has served as the vice presi dent of conferences for the Association for Software Testing\; invented a method for managing and measuring exploratory testing\; a method for c oaching testers (Open-Book Testing) and categorizing risk (Color-Aided T est Design) and has published over 50 articles\, whitepapers\, and prese ntations about the notions of value of exploration and rapid\, risk-base d testing. He has been with Quardev for the past 6 years and serves as t he speaker chairman for the acclaimed Seattle non-profit QASIG testing f orum (www.qasig.org). \;\n \;\nAbout Rose City SPIN \;\nThe Ros e City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) is a monthly forum fo r networking\, mutual support\, and promotion of effective software prac tices.

Two local experts\, Mark Knell and Marty Nelson will preview their proposed talks for Agile 2011. They will discuss applying TDD at new scales: in the micro\, with assertions driving the composition of te sts\, and in the macro\, with confirmational aspects of features driving the communication of vision and intent \;\n \;\nMark's Talk: \;\n \;\nMost tests follow an arrange/act/assert pattern that dates b ack to the earliest days of xUnit. A bowling test might set up a new fra me\, roll a ball\, and expect that if no pins are left standing\, the sc ore will be a strike. But this test also passes if there were never any pins set up in the first place. Difference-Asserting Fluent Tests use a DSL to close this and several other loopholes in NUnit and MSTest asse rtions\, while letting you keep those tools in place. You've heard of s yntactic sugar?

He has a mas ter's degree from Harvard University Extension. \;\n \;\nMarty's t alk: \;\n \;\nWe all hope that our software will satisfy the goals and desires of our users and customers. Yet most development starts by focusing on features as a mechanism to achieve an outcome\, rather than creating something demonstrable that will confirm that the vision and in tent has been achieved. What if these confirmational and functional aspe cts were really two sides of the same feature that could be exploited to develop features in a test-driven manner? Feature TDD is a technique th at does just that: create confirmational aspects that clearly establish desired outcomes and then use those to test-drive the functional mechani sm that is the focus of traditional software development. \;\n \; \nMarty Nelson is the Head of Architecture at Accelrys\, Inc.\, an ISV o ffering Enterprise Lab Management solutions that serve a rapidly changin g pharmaceutical and scientific R&\;D industry.

Jim McCarthy\, who led the legendary turnaround of the Vis ual C++ group at Microsoft\, left Microsoft in 1996 to create a team dyn amics laboratory to figure out how to always create a create a high perf ormance team. \;\n \;\nThe McCarthy lab has focused extensively o n this challenge\, and has produced 11 rich\, precise protocols (called the Core) for making unanimous decisions\, supporting quality thinking\, strengthening design iterations\, and incorporating feedback\, emotions \, nobility\, and passion into products. \;\n \;\nLearn about the se protocols in this motivating\, challenging talk. In just a few minute s\, you can pick up the fundamentals of an entirely new class of tool. & #13\;\n \;\n• Do you notice too much discussion and arguing and would prefer the best ideas would just get implemented now? –Learn about the Decider Protocol which guarantees unanimous team decisions with accounta bility and moves the team forward with a bias toward action. \;\n 3\;\n• Do you accept that it is vitally important that you get the opini ons of others about the quality of work products but notice that it is c onsistently painful to give and receive feedback? – Learn about the Perf ection Protocol which solves all the problems associated with criticism. \;\n \;\n• Do you notice that dumb things consistently happen on your team and everyone seems to lack self-awareness to some degree\, in cluding you? – Learn about the Core Commitments which provide a team con stitution about commitment and accountability to the team. And learn abo ut the Personal Alignment Protocol which allows each team member to addr ess self-awareness around courage\, integrity\, passion and other virtuo us behaviors. \;\n \;\nThis event is free and is at our new locat ion\, Puppet Labs.

Goad Testing ta kes you a level deeper\, examining what tests really are and using the o utcome of that exercise to derive new ways of keeping software - both pr oduction and test - healthy\, flexible\, and on-specification. Making di stinctions is a critical aspect of a test: It allows a test to serve as an executable specification. Sometimes this ability is lost in the cours e of maintenance. Goad testing is a way to prevent that from happening w ithout introducing significant extra work or complexity. \;\n \;\n About Max Guernsey III\, Hexagon Software LLC: \;\nI’ve been in the s oftware development industry for over ten years.

Hav e you generated excitement for these new ideas\, seen them seem to take root and grow\, only to find a year later that people have fallen back i nto their old ways of doing things?

In this talk\, Tamara Sulaiman Runyon discusses some reasons why simple practice adoption is not enough\; an d why transformation is so difficult to make stick in many organizations . Topics include: the nature of change and complex systems models - wher e do we fit? The key role that vision and leadership play in instigatin g and supporting transformation\; the potential iceberg of organizatio nal culture as a change blocker\, as well as people aspects - the leve ls of discomfort caused by any change\; and measuring the growth of comp etence as Agile practices and Values are assimilated. \;\n \;\nP resenter Bio: \;\n \;\nTamara Sulaiman Runyon has been assisting t eams in transitioning to agile methods both as a hands-on ScrumMaster an d as an Agile Coach and Scrum trainer since 2003.

It is disruptive\, complicated\, and very expensive. It brings organization al dysfunction to the surface and shines a bright light on business prac tices that sabotage teams and fail to deliver value to clients. Further\ , unwitting teams may adopt a version of Agile that becomes dogmatic\, i nflexible\, and interested in perpetuating the "\;process” of Agile rather than being\, well\, agile. The only thing worse than bringing Agi le in\, is trying to get Agile right. \;\n \;\nThat said\, everyon e should be using Agile. This presentation will explore ways to bring Ag ile into an organization\, how to choose the right "\;flavor” of Agi le\, and what to do when it goes badly – because it will. This presentat ion will also examine how to expand the Agile conversation from within t he software development team\, outward to internal stakeholders\, and ev entually into client engagements. \;\n \;\nDetails and Pizza: \ ;\n \;\nThis event is free and is at Puppet Labs.

What is your org’s culture? What is your team’s culture? The three may be completely dif ferent\, or have strong themes\, but the point is that a culture exists with or without you. You don’t force a culture\, you either invite or i ncite it to take on certain characteristics that are valued. For example \, aspects such as learning\, communication\, and collaboration are thre e activities that may be rewarded on your team\, but are they valued eno ugh for the team to do it on their own? Culture is what an anthropologi st sees if they observed you in action. Is it forced by another or is i t organic? In this talk\, Jon will share his thoughts and experiences a bout the cultures he has seen over the years and what you might take awa y to incite (and invite) in your culture when you get back to your desk. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nJon Bach from eBay \;\n \;\nWith almost 20 years of experience in software testing\, Jon Bach has held te chnical and managerial positions at Hewlett-Packard\, Microsoft\, and eB ay.

CSMs understand Scrum values\, pract ices\, and applications and provide a level of knowledge and expertise a bove and beyond that of typical project managers. CSMs act as "\;ser vant leaders\,"\; helping the rest of the Scrum team work together a nd learn the Scrum framework. CSMs also protect the team from both inter nal and external distractions. \;\nTo earn your CSM certificate\, you must take a CSM course from a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) or Endorsed Scrum Trainer (EST) and demonstrate your progress through our online CS M test. The first step toward your CSM is familiarizing yourself with Sc rum. Then attend an in-person\, two-day (16 hour) CSM course taught by a Scrum Alliance Authorized Trainer. After successfully completing the co urse\, you will need to pass the CSM exam. To get a passing score\, you must correctly answer 24 of the 35 questions. You will be eligible for 16 Scrum Education Units (SEUs) upon completion of this course. After yo u pass the CSM exam\, you will be asked to accept the License Agreement and complete your Scrum Alliance membership profile. This 2 day (16 hour s) course fulfills the classroom requirement to become a CSM. \;\n 3\;\n10% of PROCEEDS WILL GO TO CHICK TECH PORTLAND https://portland.chi cktech.org/\n\nTags: agile\, scrum\, software\n\nImported from: http://c alagator.org/events/1250471307 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/certified-scrum-master-tickets-411019971 8?ref=ebapi SUMMARY:Certified Scrum Master (CSM) Training LOCATION:McMenamins Kennedy School: 5736 N.E. 33rd Ave.\, Portland OR 972 11 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161203T005028Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170415T180000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170415T090000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161203T005028Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161203T005028Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250471155 DESCRIPTION:Beaver BarCamp is an informal conference where everyone is en couraged to participate and the sessions are not predetermined.

This talk is about the equally important st eps of eliminating outdated initiatives\, deconstructing your favorite s uccesses\, and rebuilding from their foundations. Kara Sowles will take us through some concrete examples from her 5 years at a single company\ , including: \;\n* a user group program growing from 5 groups to 70 worldwide (and what it looks like to scale back after all that growth)\, \;\n* abandoning a series of 30/year one-day conferences\, \;\n* remaking an online triage event into an online hack day\, and more.  3\;\nWe'll discuss the importance of having larger frameworks that you c an plug programs into \;\n(and out) of\, and the experience of destro ying your favorite programs to stay nimble. \;\n \;\nKara Sowles is the Manager of Community and Evangelism at the software company Puppe t\, where she's spent the past 5 years leading strategic planning and im plementation of the company's global community programs.\n\nTags: puppet \, software\, community building\, strategy\, user groups\, event planni ng\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250473081 URL:https://series.cmxhub.com/events/details/cmx-portland-presents-buildi ng-dismantling-and-re-using-community-initiatives-over-time#/ SUMMARY:Building\, Dismantling\, and Re-using Community Initiatives over Time LOCATION:NedSpace: 707 SW Washington St #1100\, Portland\, OR 97205\, Por tland OR 97205 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180130T230152Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180202T120000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180202T110000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180130T230152Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180130T230152Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250473189 DESCRIPTION:Title: New Applications of Software Synthesis: Firewall Repai r and Verification of Configuration Files \;\n \;\nAbstract: \; \nIn this talk we present a systematic effort that can automatically rep air firewalls\, using the programming by example approach. Firewalls are widely employed to manage and control enterprise networks. Because ente rprise-scale firewalls contain hundreds or thousands of policies\, ensur ing the correctness of firewalls – whether the policies in the firewalls meet the specifications of their administrators – is an important but c hallenging problem. In our approach\, after an administrator observes un desired behavior in a firewall\, she may provide input/output examples t hat comply with the intended behavior. Based on the given examples\, we automatically synthesize new firewall rules for the existing firewall. T his new firewall correctly handles packets specified by the examples\, w hile maintaining the rest of the behavior of the original firewall. \ ;\n \;\nWe also show\, using verification for configuration files\, h ow to learn specification when the given examples is actually a set of c onfiguration files. Software failures resulting from configuration error s have become commonplace as modern software systems grow increasingly l arge and more complex. The lack of language constructs in configuration files\, such as types and grammars\, has directed the focus of a configu ration file verification towards building post-failure error diagnosis t ools. In this talk we describe a framework which analyzes data sets of correct configuration files and derives rules for building a language mo del from the given data set. The resulting language model can be used to verify new configuration files and detect errors in them. \;\n \; \nBio: \;\nRuzica Piskac is an assistant professor (tenure-track) at Yale\, Computer Science Department.

Our past practices and approaches are failing us and what had worked reliably during more stable times in the past is unfortunate ly proving inadequate for the dynamic present. This course introduces co ncepts which challenge the deeply rooted thinking patterns that have bee n ingrained by years of conventional thinking. \;\n \;\nTake a div e into complexity theory\, and the practical implications for operating in a world of inherent uncertainty. Learn about the Cynefin framework – and how to apply it in organisations\; how to make better decisions\, de pendent on the situation\; as well as a range of practical methods that you can apply directly in organisations. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n What it’s about: \;\n \;\nComplexity has become a buzzword for the world we work within - this course provides you with the foundational t ools to understand what it means to act and manage in complexity. \;\ n \;\nCynefin and Complexity Foundations forms the core component of Cognitive Edge's training offerings. It contributes the basic scaffolds and key components of your sense-making toolkit for working in complex e nvironments. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nWho it is for: \;\n \; \nThis course designed for people who work in constantly-evolving\, dyna mic situations\, dealing daily with uncertainty and risk\, and looking f or a enhanced compass for building organisations that are both resilient and innovative. Whether you work in an organisation navigating intracta ble problems\, or are a consultant looking to include complexity princip les into your practice - or if you are simply complexity-curious - this Foundations class is for you. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nWhat we wil l cover: \;\n \;\nThis has been designed as a 2-day session - a co mbination of deep immersion into the fundamentals of working in complexi ty\, and with the Cynefin framework. This will be substantiated by lots of hands-on methods-based activities\, and group-based discussions. \ ;\n \;\nThe session will begin with an introduction to complexity\, a nd the natural and human science that sit behind the naturalising tradit ion in sense-making. Discover and manage the evolutionary potential of t he present by increasing situational awareness of the types of systems t hat we sit within\, and how to modulate within complex systems. \;\n& #13\;\nThe Cynefin framework has subtleties and nuances which are not ea sily accessible to the casual reader. Building on the basics outlined in the Harvard Business Review article\, this 2-day session will help you dig deeper into the uses of the framework\, accompanied by facilitated w orkshop activities and tools. \;\n \;\nTo see a brochure for this course\, goto http://cognitive-edge.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Cynef inFoundations-brochure-2018-v2.pdf \;\n \;\n \;\nEarly Bird Rat es End Jan 27th \;\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/cynefin-complexit y-foundations-portland-oregon-tickets-40759305179?discount=PDX10-2018#ti ckets\n\nTags: Cynefin\, complexity\, leadership\, management\, innovati on\, systems thinking\, responsive\, Adaptive Action\, software\, techno logy\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250473064 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/cynefin-complexity-foundations-portla nd-oregon-tickets-40759305179?discount=PDX10-2018 SUMMARY:Cynefin & Complexity Foundations LOCATION:Hotel Rose: 50 SW Morrison St\, Portland Oregon 97204 USA SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180622T215933Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180719T173000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180719T160000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180622T215933Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180622T215933Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250473910 DESCRIPTION:Join us for a graphic design workshop using an a free and ope n source software called GIMP.

On line activity and real-world sensors are generating torrents of data abo ut everything from weather to crime to our buying habits. Increasing com puter power and new analytical techniques promise to turn masses of raw data into actionable intelligence—and thereby transform a variety of ind ustries and propel us to a data-driven economy. According to analysts\, the Data Analytics market will be almost $50B by 2020. Coupled with the estimation that by 2019 there will nearly 1.2 million open data jobs wit h no one to fill them*\, it is clear that understanding and communicatin g with data will be critical for impact. The skills needed to be a Busin ess Analyst\, Data Analyst\, or Data Scientist are all about to be in re al demand\, and our trainings with experience Data Science Practitioners will help you get head start!

By taking this course\, you will form a solid foundation of predictive analytics\, which refers to tools and techniques for building statistical or machine learning mo dels to make predictions based on data. You will learn how to carry out exploratory data analysis to gain insights and prepare data for predicti ve modeling\, an essential skill valued in the business. \;\n \;\n WHY R PROGRAMMING FOR PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS? \;\nR is a programming la nguage originally written for statisticians to do statistical analysis\, including predictive analytics. It’s open-source software\, used extens ively in academia to teach such disciplines as statistics\, bioinformati cs\, and economics. From its humble beginnings\, it has since been exten ded to do data modeling\, data mining\, and predictive analysis. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR \;\nMartin Jetton has 30+ years of advan ced supply chain analytics\, predictive analytics\, and statistical cons ulting experience. He's currently a Principal at the Liberty Advisor Gro up\, where he works in advanced supply chain analytics.

It's a reflection on finding a job\, but told f rom the employer's perspective: exploring what actually differentiated s uccessful candidates from the rest\, why resume screening failed to surf ace the strongest candidates\, and what to look for in a successful cand idate. Along the way\, it offers concrete advice for everyone: how job s eekers can better present their experience\, approach take-home challeng es\, and prepare for interviews\; and how hiring managers can ask better questions\, design meaningful evaluations\, and reduce unnecessary pain in the process. Ultimately\, the talk aims not only to surface systemic problems in modern software engineer hiring\, but also to offer practic al guidance and cautious optimism for navigating (and surviving) the &qu ot\;paradox of plenty"\;. \;\n \;\nHeather Wilcox is excited t o follow with her talk titled Resume Tips and Tricks\, which will go fur ther in depth on how to write a resume that hiring managers will notice\ , along with other helpful hints for survival in the era of AI. As an ex perienced hiring manager and job seeker herself\, Heather has reviewed h undreds (maybe thousands?) of resumes. She can tell you that the AI and recruiter generated resumes are usually easy to spot and often treated w ith a certain amount of disdain and distrust. But\, at the same time\, y ou need your information to get past the AI screeners and into the hands of a real human. It's not an easy needle to thread\, but she's done it and so can you! \;\n \;\nSchedule (all times in PT): \;\n6-6:30 PM: Light refreshments (soft drinks\, pizza) and networking \;\n6:30 -7:30 PM: Talks/Presentation \;\n7:30-8 PM: Q&\;A and more network ing \;\n \;\nThanks to Trimble this month for lending us their spa ce for the evening!\n\nTags: Job\, career\, engineer\, networking\, publ ic speaking\, qa\, quality assurance\, software\, software quality\, sof tware testing\, tech\, technology\, test\, testing\n\nImported from: htt p://calagator.org/events/1250482436 URL:https://luma.com/9f10qhq7 SUMMARY:Get your resume seen!

Come ready to share w hat you’re seeing on your end too — the best part will be comparing note s. \;\n \;\nYou don’t need to be a PM to get something out of this . It’s a good fit if you’re curious about any of the following: \;\n• What PMs and quality folks have in common (and where they still talk pa st each other) \;\n• How AI is actually landing in delivery teams — b eyond the hype \;\n• Which PM habits quietly prevent quality problems before they start \;\n• Continuing the conversations from PMI Portla nd 2026 \;\n \;\nThis will be a hybrid meetup\, so mingle in perso n or tune in online.
