Truth be told, Ella is much more than "just" a software developer. "We also act as pioneers, if you will," she says. "As software developers, we're responsible not only for our own code, but also for the environment in which our applications are deployed. And as developers, we also take on a secondary role as multipliers for agile forms of working. Applications and processes that work for us double up as great examples for other teams at the segment to follow." And in order to further advance the agile transformation, Ella works with her colleagues on flexible scrum teams. "It works really well, even if I'd like us to have another couple of female colleagues on the team. Slowly but surely, however, the number of women working in software development is actually on the rise, which is excellent," says Ella.
