iX workshop: AI workflows for product owners and product managers

A German-based training workshop titled iX-Workshop: KI-Workflows für Product Owner und Product Manager has been scheduled for September 30, 2026, offering participants an in-depth exploration of how artificial intelligence can enhance product management practices. The event will take place as an online session from 9:00 to 17:00 local time, with a 10% early bird discount available until September 2, 2026. Designed specifically for professionals such as Product Owners, Product Managers, and Requirements Engineers, the workshop aims to equip attendees with practical knowledge on integrating AI tools into their workflows. The workshop focuses on the application of AI in product development, particularly through the automation of tasks such as generating product requirements and test case descriptions. Attendees will gain insights into both cloud-based and locally hosted AI applications, learning how to evaluate factors like quality, performance, cost, and data privacy to make informed decisions tailored to their specific organizational needs. A key component of the program involves using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques to make internal documents accessible to AI systems, enabling automated analysis, classification, and transformation of results into readable text. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises designed to simulate real-world scenarios, allowing them to practice applying AI solutions directly within their professional environments. These activities will cover the entire lifecycle of developing AI workflows, from selecting appropriate tools to conceptualizing and implementing strategies that align with realistic product management challenges. The integration of both local and cloud-based AI technologies will be emphasized, highlighting how these approaches can complement each other in enhancing productivity and efficiency. The workshop will be led by Mustafa Yilmaz, who serves as the IT-Consulting Site Leader at andrena objects in Mannheim. With extensive experience as a software developer and in coaching product teams, Yilmaz brings a deep understanding of the considerations involved in introducing AI into product development and management processes. In his current role, he develops consulting and service offerings focused on the implementation of AI in product-related contexts. During the workshop, he will provide actionable insights based on real-world applications, demonstrating how AI can be effectively utilized in this domain. The target audience includes Product Owners and Product Managers seeking to incorporate AI tools into their daily routines to automate routine tasks, as well as Requirements Engineers interested in leveraging AI for drafting software product specifications. The workshop promises to deliver valuable skills and knowledge that can be immediately applied in professional settings, helping participants stay competitive in an increasingly AI-driven industry.
