Thoughtworks hosts: How Agile Development makes you create Green Software

Check the original post here.

________________

In this session, we’ll explore how Agile practices — especially those rooted in XP (Extreme Programming) — can naturally lead to greener software. We'll dive into the "XP Circle of Life" and examine how practices like continuous integration, test-driven development, and simple design not only improve code quality and team efficiency but also reduce energy consumption and carbon impact.
We'll also take a look at how Agile thinking influences our tech stack choices, with concrete examples of emerging libraries and frameworks like htmx that enable greener architectures by reducing complexity and resource usage.
Next to developers, architects, and tech leads, this talk is also aimed at product owners, project managers, and all the others who are passionate about both high-quality software and environmental sustainability — and want to see how the two go hand in hand.
