Jason Hall and Kody Fintak share the story of Hack for Good at Agile2026, where conference participants used self-organization, customer collaboration, and rapid experimentation to tackle real challenges for the Jubilee Association of Maryland, a nonprofit supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
