Aino explains to Sven what skills are required to make meetings more successful. They talk about
the different roles of meeting attendees. They continue with the thinking process to organize a
meeting: do we need it at all? What is the expected outcome? Who should be invited? How long
it should take? Do we need preparation for the attendees? Icebreakers? How do we craft an
agenda? Then they discuss how to steer a meeting as a meeting facilitator, how to engage
(quite) attendees and how to deal with negative people. Finally, they close with methods on how
to improve your moderator skills.

How do you enable a developer to quickly start the development of business logic of a new microservice without losing too much time on setting up everything else like monitoring, tracing, dependency management, security, configuration and much more. After the motivation, they move from service templates to service chassis, continue with governance as code and close with the possible need of product management skills to keep the chassis and the derived services current.
