The Intersection of Sustainability and Agility with Maryse Meinen
Manage episode 420940099 series 2828305
Ever wondered how agile methodologies can intersect with sustainability to address some of the planet's most pressing challenges? Join us in this episode of The Agile Within with guest Maryse Meinen, Chief Philosopher, Sustainability and Product Development Enabler at Practical Agile.
We explore the vital role agilists can play in mitigating environmental impacts, particularly within the fast-growing IT sector. Maryse and I tackle the concept of climate anxiety, discussing how breaking down overwhelming issues into manageable tasks can make a significant difference, much like in software development. Through personal stories and reflections, we illustrate the power of persistence and the importance of making impactful, incremental changes. We also delve into the principle of YAGNI and its relevance to both software development and sustainability, advocating for a mindset of "enoughness".
By drawing on Stoic philosophy, we highlight the timeless wisdom of figures like Marcus Aurelius and the practical applications of their teachings for today’s leaders. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that bridges the realms of agility, sustainability, and the enduring insights of Stoicism.
