Imagine your team has a long list of ideas, but no objective way to prioritize and develop them.

Instead of calculating at your office, you discuss over a four-course dinner and wine menu: sharing your impressions live from your phone, seeing them turn into hard numbers, and a Jira Product Discovery board ranking the results — course by course, glass by glass.

Manuel Mesmer, Atlassian Community Champion in Essen, takes you on a tasteful journey through Jira Product Discovery (JPD), supported by Jira and Rovo, to turn subjective taste into a clear, data-backed decision.

Together with Rainer Podzuck, owner of EMMA2 Weinbar, who will be our wine-side co-moderator, and a man who spent 30 years at WELLA before turning his passion for wine into a profession, you’ll taste eight wine pairings across four courses. Each pairing is an idea competing for a permanent spot on the menu.

After every course, you rate the wines right from your phone, and automation turns your feedback into live scores. Then Jira Product Discovery takes center stage: every pairing lives as an idea on the JPD board, fed by the scores from the room. You’ll watch individual opinions turn into a clear, live ranking that shows exactly why one idea beats another - exactly the same way a product team decides what to build next, just with wine instead of requirements.

Seats are limited to 26, so register early! You’re kindly invited to keep the conversation flowing over a final glass afterwards.
