Compassionate Computing, Philosophical & Practical: Shared Values for Our Work We work from a place of empathy for our users, our systems, and ourselves. We strive to do our best as proactive, aspirational, and collaborative partners. We work based on research and testing. We are honest and accurate in estimating our time and impact, accepting the limits of what we will know in any given situation. We understand our work includes handling problems for things beyond our control. https://ufdc.ufl.edu/AA00078428/00004
Compassionate Computing, Practices General: Transparent, equitable, follow shared values and procedural justice, enable agency Specifics, we ask these questions for our work, for any given need, process, program: How are we utilizing rules and processes to support us/make these work for our needs, which include fulfilling our mission? How does this empower technologists and stakeholders, and foster collaboration? How are we implementing plans for complexity and continuity (think planned economy instead of project plan)? How are we communicating and validating that the communication is successful (analysts, conversation, documentation, Behavior Driven Development)? What does this mean for impact (outputs are easy, impacts embrace complexity)?
Make it work for the mission (even when we don t have rules for that yet).
Agile and Scrum for Engagement & Inclusion [Agile software development] approaches develop requirements and solutions through the collaborative effort of self- organizing and cross-functional teams and their customer(s)/end user(s). It advocates adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continual improvement, and it encourages flexible responses to change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile _software_development https://www.visual-paradigm.com/scrum/what-are-scrum-ceremonies/

Wrap-up / Take-home Compassionate computing, agile, and scrum can enable us to do our work. We work from a place of empathy for our users, our systems, and ourselves. May our problems be only technical.
