Sustainability as a Guide for Actions & Outcomes in Agile Development
April 21st @1:00 - 1:50pm
The planet is on fire. Therefore, we all have to take responsibility and contribute to greater social, environmental, and economic sustainability. However, because this challenge is so huge and wicked, we often feel helpless and overwhelmed. In this session, I want to focus on what you can do in your daily agile life to make one step after the other.
