Towards Agile Sustainability – Are we on Track?

Description

For years, sustainability has been a concern for many communities, and this has been the case for the Agile software development communities. The definition of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, has provided more concrete dimensions to sustainability since at the heart of the Agenda are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Organizations are currently redefining strategic objectives and processes so that all these can be better aligned with these 17 SDGs. Sustainability dimensions are defined using different concepts, for instance, Human, Environmental and Economic.It seems that it can be the right time to study Agile and Sustainability in depth and from a new and more fresh perspective, seeking a mutual benefit of both Agile and Sustainability. It should not be forgotten that Agile was born on top of a set of values, principles and practices and, in this respect, Agile is different to other development paradigms. The relationship and impact that the Agile paradigm and the agile software development approach have 1) on the sustainability dimensions and, 2) on the SDGs, require to be thoroughly considered. Issues such as resources (human, technical…), and energy consumption both from the process and product perspectives are relevant.
