Agile practices emerge in a collaborative environment. As the leader on several projects, I saw the emergence of iterative development, test first, evolving functional specs, pair programming, minimal documentation, and customer involvement at every step of the way.

We all experience pressure to compromise our work and our reasonable care for others. As software becomes more beneficial, more pervasive, and inter-connected, our potential to harm grows.

Agile practices make a contribution to ethical practice but we can and should be doing more to help each other navigate the ethical dilemmas we face.

This open space session will frame professional ethics in context with agile values and engage participants in a conversation about how our day-to-day actions affect our employers, customers, peers, end users, and society.
