1. What got you started/interested in modern software development methods?
The different style of approaching the topic produc, project and people management. It is just make so much more sense to do it the agile way.
2. What do you think is the biggest challenge faced by the software product engineering community today?
Mindfulness. The pace of change keeps increasing and not only at work but also in private life. The challenge is to manage in a mindful way that we are not burned out, but more in a sustainable way.

More and more involvement of Machine Learning and AI sounds very promising. Looking forward to learn more about that.

Great time to share the knowledge we collected and get feedback from the community, so that we can continously learn and improve.
5. What are some of the key takeaways from your session(s) at Agile India?
How to implement Agility in a non software development area. How to spread the great mindset and way of working.
6. Which sessions are you particularly looking forward to attending at Agile India this year?
Agile transformation or just another restructure. Sound interesting. But also the other session which is outside of software development, to get inspired.

Take care of our planet and people. We will be ok!
