Abstract

This article argues that ethical considerations should be embedded into the software development process, particularly within agile frameworks. It emphasizes the need to evaluate not only the use of software but the software itself, acknowledging the influence of software engineers on people's lives through design choices. The authors propose an approach where software engineers make ethical judgments throughout development, leveraging agile methodologies' strengths to facilitate this process.
