Details

Bring Sustainability into your Agile Day Job with the Sustainability Dojo - this is a fun interactive workshop facilitated by Joanna Masraff and Scott Seivwright. The dynamic spirit of a dojo melds seamlessly with the vital mission of helping your teams to create sustainable technology.

Bring along your laptop to participate in this fun experience, which is a call to action for everyone who believes in harnessing the power of technology for environmental and social good. You'll gain deeper understanding of how to lower carbon emissions, reduce bias and increase accessibility, resulting in action plans for improvement that you can take back into your own workplace.

Walk Away with an Action Plan

One of the most exciting parts of this dojo is that you don't just leave with new knowledge; you leave with an actionable plan. Depending on your and your organisational context, we will offer differing strategies to return with to your workplace to enable action and impact to occur. Whether it’s optimising code for lower carbon footprints, enhancing accessibility, or ensuring ethical products, you’ll have concrete steps to make a difference.

Who Should Attend?

Our Sustainability Dojo welcomes a diverse group of participants:

  • Product Managers, Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches: Learn how to integrate sustainability into product life cycles and techniques to facilitate this with your own teams.
  • Software Developers and Testers: Understand what makes sustainable code and how to test it.
  • Tech Enthusiasts and Sustainability Advocates: Merge your passion for tech with sustainable practices.
  • Business Leaders: Understand how sustainable tech practices can benefit your organization.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting, this workshop offers invaluable insights and practical skills. Join us in this unique dojo experience where you’ll not only learn and have fun but also become a part of a movement towards a more sustainable and responsible tech world. Let's code for a greener future!
