🤯 Analysts, AI, and cognitive traps

✅ Test hypotheses and conclusions;
✅ Avoid “confident but wrong” requirements;
✅ Use AI effectively without hype;
✅ Build and apply a simple bias control checklist in your BA/SA workflow.

🎓 Leadership ≠ Job title
In product teams, possessing job titles doesn't guarantee influence, and not possessing one doesn’t stop you from being a leader.

At this meetup, we’ll talk about informal leadership: how to influence others, build trust, and take initiative without managerial authority.

We’ll discuss:
🔥 What leadership really means in today’s product environment;
🔥 Who informal leaders are, and why people listen to them;
🔥 Practical ways to influence others (without manipulation or pressure);
🔥 Common mistakes that make teams lose trust.

How can a tester go beyond the browser and comprehend embedded systems?🔌

📟Embedded testing is often seen as something complex and distant, but in reality, it has a lot in common with web and mobile testing. If you’re curious about how embedded systems are tested, what skills and approaches from the web world can be applied, and where this knowledge is actually used, this meetup is for you 😎

🎙️ At the meetup on February 24, our Lead Tester Luis Dias will explain in lay terms what embedded testing is, how embedded systems differ from web systems, and what tools, approaches, and testing principles work across different domains regardless of the platform type.

🌟Architects, good news for you!

On February 27, we are gathering in Baku to explore the use of full-stack frameworks for building internal business applications, such as back-office systems and administrative consoles. Together with Andrei Dzemianchyk, Software Architect at Andersen, we will examine their capabilities and limitations, compare them with classical custom development approaches, and analyze development effort and cost based on real-world projects. The goal is to identify where these frameworks provide the most value – and where they introduce trade-offs – from an architectural perspective.

🎙️ Speaker: Andrei Dzemianchyk, Software Architect with more than 20 years of experience in Java-based software development and more than 6 years in software architecture.
