For years, technology has underpinned business growth, compelling enterprises to focus on sustainable IT for long-term success. However, despite leadership support and buy-in for sustainable IT, a significant gap exists between intention and implementation because product teams often treat sustainability as an afterthought. Everest Group believes the quality function can enable enterprises to achieve these sustainable IT goals. To enhance its impact and reach, enterprises must widen the quality function’s scope to include sustainability when defining product quality.
In this viewpoint, we explore how a shift-left and shift-right approach ensures the continual integration of sustainable practices throughout the Software Development Lifecycle(SDLC) and highlights the quality function’s role. This report benefits enterprises seeking a structured approach to implement sustainable IT initiatives effectively.
