The Future of Women in Agile
summary
Panelists report concrete outcomes: a Facebook group grows into women in tech pk and a directory, with an on-site coding bootcamp for girls that graduates 700 graduates in about three years and places roughly 120 into jobs; tools are low‑tech organizing, virtual advocacy, monthly interviews and heavy one‑to‑one mentorship; claim is that representation plus sponsorship and experiments (try things, iterate) shift who gets heard; success depends on time‑intensive emotional labor, external allies to amplify messages, and writing to make work discoverable.
