## Portable's Sarah Kaur talks about how Portable's all-female production team turns the male dominated agile methodology upside down with a feminist imperative.

 

 

 

  

 

 

**"The Agile Manifesto developed by a group of leaders in Extreme Programming in February 2001 in a ski resort in Utah. No doubt you’ll notice something they have in common."**

Through Sarah's talk you’ll learn about the gendered history of agile as a project management style, and tease out the patriarchal leaning of the client-agency relationship.

Sarah discusses how to use trust-building to offset the hidden costs of working in the traditional agile way, and some easy ways to adopt our feminist agile process in your workplace.
