AGILE SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability transition is triggering a fundamental shift in many aspects of our society by introducing radical changes in technologies, policies, and the role of consumers. Businesses are faced with significant challenges when operating in such a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment. One industry that works under a comparable VUCA environment is the software industry. To cope with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity during software delivery, Agile is a set of popular and established principles that help businesses to release high-quality software products. Given the similarities in delivery environment between software development and sustainability strategies, the Agile principles which serve well for the software industry could be used as a potential reference to frame strategies in sustainability.
