In the post-pandemic world, software has become critical for enterprises to ensure continued engagement and deliver superior user experiences to customers. Additionally, enterprises have been able to unlock alternate revenue streams by integrating data and intelligence into software products.

As enterprises embrace this software-led innovation, there is a realization that accelerating time-to-market for new products and product features is key to meeting evolving end-user expectations. Additionally, the need to achieve cost savings has emerged as a priority on the back of a severe economic recession. These dynamics have led to significant transformation within the software product engineering landscape, across talent, technologies, processes, and operating models.
