There is a lot of work to be done about diversity and inclusion, the key is starting.
COVID-19 has laid bare the systemic oppression that is at the root of inequality around the world. Companies are looking at their diversity and inclusion programs and policies, which is a crucial step in creating a more inclusive workplace for everyone.
There are countless ways to invest in diversity and inclusion. At ezTagile, we have created
the ezT StandUp Initiative.

How diverse is the agile industry?
Facts:
-
Unfortunately, publications on minority representation within the agile industry are not readily available.
-
Historically, agile was rooted in software development and it has since evolved across other verticals. However, given its roots and prominence among Technology and Fortune 500 companies, it is ideal to examine the minority representation within these types of companies to leverage the available statistics regarding their overall diversity, as a window into how diverse is the agile industry.
-
Overall, the representation of women and minorities within Technology and Fortune 500 companies is improving, but still has serious room to grow. Hispanic/Latinx and Black/African American representation are the lowest, especially when considering their representation among the general population.
