Learning some adoption tips
Have you decided that KMP is for you and your team and would like to try it out? Here are a couple of quick tips to help you mitigate risk and gradually descend into the KMP world:

Many teams already do this by having Java/Kotlin modules for their business logic. These teams are already one step closer to making these modules shareable and doing this doesn't need any KMP expertise and doesn't introduce KMP specific risks.
- You can then start educating your Android team on KMP and gradually make your components platform-agnostic. Make sure that iOS is involved in the communication as they will be one of the consumers of the shared code. I'd encourage iOS people to learn about KMP and contribute...
