Agile Product Management (APM) has emerged as a critical driver of technological innovation, enabling organizations to rapidly adapt changing market dynamics and customer needs. This abstract explores the key principles APM its role in fostering innovation today's fast-paced business environment. At core, is collaborative, iterative approach product development that emphasizes flexibility, feedback, continuous improvement. By breaking down complex projects into manageable tasks delivering value incrementally, enables teams respond quickly feedback evolving requirements. One features emphasis on collaboration. involving customers early often process, can ensure their products meet needs expectations. customer-centric not only drives but also helps stay ahead competition. Another important aspect focus cross-functional teams. bringing together individuals with diverse skills backgrounds, fosters culture creativity innovation. Cross-functional are able experiment new ideas, iterate designs, deliver high-quality faster. In addition manage risk more effectively. smaller, pieces, identify address potential issues reducing likelihood costly delays or failures. Overall, powerful catalyst for embracing collaboration, improvement, drive competition landscape.

This executive summary introduces the concept paper on Green Architecture, focusing specifically integration of vertical greenery in urban design. architecture, characterized by sustainable design principles and environmental consciousness, aims to enhance environments incorporating vegetation into built structures. Vertical greenery, a key component green involves strategic placement surfaces such as walls, facades, rooftops. explores potential mitigate issues areas, improve air quality, reduce heat island effect, biodiversity. The proposes conceptual framework for conceptualizing design, emphasizing importance integrating natural elements environment. It discusses various strategies implementing including selection suitable plant species, considerations irrigation structural stability, incorporation planning processes. Moreover, highlights social economic benefits improved health well-being residents, increased property values, enhanced aesthetics spaces. also emphasizes role stakeholder engagement, interdisciplinary collaboration, ongoing monitoring evaluation successful implementation projects. In conclusion, this outlines significance practices means promote sustainability, resilience, livability cities. By embracing architecture landscapes, cities can create healthier, more vibrant, environmentally communities current future generations. Keywords: Urban, Design, Green, Vertical.

Offshore wind farms are expanding rapidly as a clean energy solution but raise concerns about light-related environmental impacts, such shadow flicker and light pollution, affecting ecosystems human communities. This study assesses the impacts of offshore in South Korea, specifically evaluating daytime nighttime proposes mitigation strategies tailored to diverse landscape contexts. Using advanced geospatial tools, including QGIS WindPRO, disturbances were analyzed across three representative sites: Aphae (rural), Jangbogo (island), Dadaepo (urban). Shadow exposure was quantified based on turbine specifications, solar dynamics, observer locations, while pollution from aviation obstruction lights assessed through spatial luminance analysis. The site exhibited highest exposure, with up 154 days annually 79 h per year some regions, Dadaepo's urban zone displayed moderate particularly tourist areas like Molundae Observatory. experienced negligible effects due natural buffering greater separation distances. Light intensity correlated proximity visibility, 8-13 turbines visible highly impacted zones. Tailored strategies, optimized placement, green buffers, zoning regulations, habitat preservation, essential minimizing adverse impacts. research underscores need for location-sensitive planning achieve sustainable development safeguarding ecological well-being.
