MoM Pindy opens the meeting at 1600 BST

Implementing software foundations and methodologies in an organisation. Pindy and Sean provide insights on implementing green software in organisations. The project aims to understand how to embed green software practices in organisations, focusing on strategy, compliance, and simplifying the process.

Sustainability framework for IT projects. Pindy outlines a framework for IT project management, including strategy, operational, and compliance components. Sean M and Sean O work on building the framework, focusing on strategy, leadership, and compliance. Pindy and Muhammad are working on two projects related to sustainability in software development. Pindy lists questions for an organisation to assess its sustainability practices, categorising them by pillar (strategy, operations, compliance). Standards Working Group provides feedback on personas and tooling, with Naveen suggesting using graph tooling for deeper analysis.

Sustainable software development, compliance, and regulations. Stuart explains the goal of the questions to guide the sustainable software implementation journey. Stuart acknowledges the comprehensive framework and its relevance to their recent journey. Pindy suggests considering compliance motivations when designing a project, as regulators constantly change. Sean is researching legislation and regulations for the SCI program and their impact on the industry. Gosia suggests using personas to help communicate the value proposition of the proposed framework to different stakeholders. Stuart adds that it would be helpful to see different perspectives on the framework, such as those of engineers, strategy teams, and compliance teams.

Software engineering sustainability metrics and flowcharts. Sean suggests creating a visual representation of the legislation problem to educate CEOs who may not understand the issue. Gosia mentions a decision chart in the sustainable transformation journey, which could be built upon to help organisations adopt the standard. Pindy suggests a hierarchy of views for software engineer metrics, starting with individual, then departmental, divisional, and organizational levels. Group raises the point that software engineers may not monitor overall organization-level metrics, leading to potential shifting left or right without proper monitoring.

Software engineering, metrics, and workshop planning. Stuart: Refactoring software with green software principles in mind, ensuring a positive impact on the organisation. Gosia: It is important to consider a holistic view of the organisation when applying software patterns, including a carbon or energy perspective. Stuart explains the process of building a flowchart and seeking outside perspectives for feedback. Group discusses questions for each pillar, with some questions overlapping between strategy and operations. Pindy and Sean discuss workshop planning, including deciding when to kick it off and when to send the workshop document. Sean suggests capturing questions and issues in GitHub for an audit trail and visibility of what was raised.
