I am happy to introduce the third edition of the monthly BArszawa blog, to which I contribute as an author and editor:
BArszawa Blog - March’24 Edition
Although this resource might be for local business analysts in Warsaw, I am adding a product management and product ownership perspective.
So, if you happen to live in Warsaw, we would be glad to have you join one of our events. If not, enjoy this newsletter.
Also, I decided to postpone the idea of my newsletter. This commitment seems too heavy at the moment. I enjoy my current writing schedule of about two articles a month. I don't want it to become a job instead of joy.

I am proud to present the second edition of the monthly newsletter made by BArszawa - the Business Analysis community in Warsaw. In one of the previous posts, I explained what this community is and my role in it.
Here is a link to BArszawa Blog - February’24 Edition
I act as an editor, combining some materials gathered by the Community OrgTeam, writing a foreword, and publishing on different media platforms.
Hoping you enjoy that post and find it helpful. Please feel free to share it with your friends and colleagues, support us, and visit us if you appear to be in Warsaw, Poland.
I wanted to conclude the Replacing Legacy series with something less practical and more philosophical. Here are my thoughts on why we are at this point of rapid and sometimes senseless replacement or modernization. And what does the future bring us in the face of AI?
I did some research for the AI part and felt a lack of knowledge to read scientific papers. Like one about the CARGO algorithm, I mentioned in the article. I really tried, but I cannot fully understand the details. That is a considerable gap to be addressed.
I recently bought a course about Product Management in AI, but I am unsure how technical it is. I still don't know how to embed that course into my schedule.
Here is the entire series at the moment:
In 2023, I became a part of the fantastic local community of business analysts, product owners, and product managers who recently relocated to Warsaw. I soon joined the OrgTeam, and we made about a dozen meetups and coffee talks last year. In 2024, we started expanding our media presence, so now we have a blog with the first post available!
That piece was quite difficult to write. I started it as a more personal story of overcoming burden of moving and adapting business logic from one system to another. I spent multiple days trying to shape and structure but every time that ended up as a whinning on the past experience with no particular clue.
So, I decided to follow the formal approach of listing some general difficulties and humble options how to resolve them. If they can be resolved at all.
Next time I will try not to overthink for 3 months in a row.
Following a theoretical Part 1, I was glad to talk about more practical API-related things and ways they can be designed.
While preparing for the webinar, I expanded my knowledge of the FastAPI Python framework to design mocks. Some of them were not only displaying docs in Swagger UI but also worked kind of. My overall purpose was not only to talk about APIs from the Business Analysis perspective but to show them.
On October 26, 2023, I hosted a webinar for Business Analysts about API and the requirements specifics about that (announcement).
I was very excited about that opportunity. Even that part was based on my previous materials published here in my blog, and from the offline API workshop, I spent a lot of time polishing and re-structuring the content to fit a remote audience with different backgrounds.
