Where?

The Villa Event House
We invite to step into a recently renovated architectural masterpiece from the XIXth century, located in one of the oldest and most pituresque neighbourhoods of Bucharest. The meticulously renovated villa serves as a perfect metaphor for the theme of our event: just as the historical building has evolved to stay relevant and functional in contemporary times, so too must our work practices and strategies adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape.

Mastering Recurring Tasks in Atlassian Jira
Like Einstein said: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Adapting this quote to our work life means that recurring tasks done differently by different people will always produce different results. While this brings dynamism and development, having some guidance for these tasks can also make us more effective. Many teams repeatedly face the same problems in Jira: manually creating tickets, checking labels and assignees, and ensuring accurate descriptions. This repetitive process is inefficient and prone to errors. To fix this, we need to standardize our workflows in Jira. Let’s set up fixed formats for project creation and issue hierarchies, and provide predefined guidance for ticket creation.
