Hello people,

I wanted to ask you all about your thoughts on how can a company or a PM implement sustainable practices in IT or digital projects? For example, in a construction or automobile industry, it's relatively easier to understand with the materials being used for manufacturing but in software or digital projects, how does sustainability play a role?

Bisharah -

Sustainability is applicable to all projects when we broaden the definition to look at all valuable resources being consumed or impacted.

People's time is an example - are we helping people work a sustainable pace?

How about code efficiency and quality? Are we optimizing the use of computing resources?

Thanks for that perspective, Kiron! Now it makes a lot of sense. I guess sustainability has a different meaning apart from doing good to the environment as well.
