Collective Risk Management

Often, quality is treated as a binary switch. Joshua Kerievsky challenges us to rethink how we manage risk in software development. In his talk, "Collective Risk Management" (a tongue-in-cheek reference to the agile concept of "collective code ownership"), Joshua explores how teams can move beyond siloed decision-making to a more collaborative, holistic approach.

By treating quality as a dial rather than an on/off switch, organizations can better navigate ongoing risks and make smarter, more resilient choices. Drawing on real-world experiences from Industrial Logic’s work with innovative companies, Joshua reveals how aligning perspectives and sharing responsibility leads to better outcomes. This approach echoes the principles of Modern Agile, emphasizing safety, experimentation, and continuous value delivery.

Join us to discover how collective risk management can transform your team's decision-making and elevate the quality of your work.
