Provide transparency on how engineering time is spent and how the tech priority decisions are made. Rather than insulate engineering from the product team whims, open tech up and convince the product leaders to invest in hygiene like Evergreen and TLM as well as digital transformation like Agile, DevOps, cloud, data strategy, and AI.

It would require a shift towards a new ways of thinking and working. One of the best ways is to induct expert/coach on this subject - someone who has done this and helped others align with Product Mindset.

In addition, getting the rights literature for people to read and follow - such as Marty Cagan's books.

Exploring industry forums and events also helps in knowing what's working and what is not across the industry.

We are in a world obsessed with the latest technologies, where it seems everything even working should be updated or upgraded to avoid the "imposed" in my opinion "digital obsolescence myth". How inclined are you towards innovation and change when the existing systems are certainly working effectively?

Very inclined: I believe in constantly pushing for innovation and improvement, even if the current systems are effective46%

Moderately inclined: I'm open to innovation and change, but only if it clearly enhances or adds value to the existing systems48%

Not inclined: If the current systems are working effectively, I prefer to maintain stability and avoid unnecessary changes5%

Why do you think there are so few mature AI-driven autonomous pentesting solutions on the market, and why does this topic seem to generate more hype than in-depth technical discussion?

Whilst there are high-quality, paid-for enterprise architecture applications in the market, with the increasing move to SaaS and dangers of vendor lock-in, it's prudent to have an alternative. Does anyone have experiences (good or bad) to share after moving from one of the market leaders to open source alternatives Essentials and/or Archi?
