Over the past months, I have been refining not only the manuscript of Product Velocity, but also the way the ideas move from theory into practice. The focus for 2026 is simple: make the Velocity Loop tangible. Not as an abstract framework, but as something teams can apply to real bottlenecks and see results within weeks.
This spring, I will take Product Velocity to several events where we will work directly on the challenges of complex product development. The emphasis is not on methodology theater. It is on visible impact: identifying cost of delay, clarifying hand-offs between Business, Engineering, Delivery, and System Stewardship, and turning friction into flow.
These are the upcoming opportunities to engage:
- 31 March – Conquering Complexity, Zurich (Free 90-minute workshop)
- 27–29 April – ReConf, Munich (4-hour workshop + talk, get 10% off with Promo code: REC26_SPRE_2523)
- 7/8 May – MESCONF, Munich (focus session)
- 8/9 June – MBSE Summit, Traunkirchen (60-minute breakout session)
Read on for more details:
March 31 – Conquering Complexity (SE-Training)
90-minute workshop
This focused session explores how the Velocity Loop helps organizations move beyond local optimization. We will look at typical breakdowns in cyber-physical development environments and examine how explicit orchestration across practices reduces coordination overhead and hidden delays.
The session is designed for practitioners who feel the friction between disciplines but lack a shared language to address it.
April 27–29 – ReConf 2026
4-hour workshop and 40-minute talk
At ReConf, we go deeper. The workshop format allows us to work hands-on with real examples, mapping bottlenecks against the Velocity Loop and identifying structural cost-of-delay drivers. The accompanying talk provides the strategic framing: why DevOps thinking alone is insufficient for complex physical products, and how Product Velocity extends that logic.
If you are navigating large-scale product development with hardware, software, and systems engineering intertwined, this is where the discussion becomes concrete.

May 7–8 – MESCONF
45-minute focus session
MESCONF offers a more interactive format. Instead of presenting a finished narrative, I will bring questions and real use cases into the room. The goal is to stress-test the approach in dialogue with experienced practitioners and explore how Product Velocity connects to current challenges in digital engineering and industrial environments.
June 8–9 – MBSE Summit
60-minute breakout session
The MBSE Summit provides a strong systems engineering audience. Here, the focus will be on making System Stewardship explicit and examining how modeling, governance, and flow interact. We will explore how to avoid over-engineering while still maintaining rigor—applying the right level of method intensity to the right problem.
Why These Events Matter
The goal for 2026 is not simply visibility. It is proof.
Each workshop and talk feeds into a larger objective: demonstrating that the Velocity Loop is not another abstraction but a practical way to unlock speed and alignment in complex environments. The focus is on short feedback cycles and visible ROI—often within 30 days when applied to a concrete use case.
If you are leading a startup or a team with a startup mentality—high autonomy, urgency, and real decision freedom—and you are facing persistent bottlenecks in product development, these events are an opportunity to explore how Product Velocity can help.
I look forward to the conversations that will emerge this spring.
