Agile Coaching is not a complicated thing. It is the art of observing, listening, forming an understanding and validating the plan, then working with your teams to come up with a workable solution. It is reported that Agile Coaching improves decision-making, commitment, and team accountability. A recent study suggests that teams supported by a coach improved the ability to track project progress and increased the clarity of team objectives. It helps better our teamwork and helps everyone achieve more.
This program is about how to enable teams to get the best from being agile. It focuses on practical advice, tips, and techniques for coaching teams to improve their effectiveness. It’s for anyone who wants to coach their team in with a certain amount of agility —whether you are a project manager, you are a technical lead, or you are simply working in a team. Counselling is introduced in the programme as a support to Agile Coaching especially when dealing with difficult team members.
The art of Agile Coaching is understanding the situation, the values underlying agile principles, and how the two can combine. In essence, as an Agile Coach, you don’t need to have all the answers; it takes time and a few experiments to hit on the right approach. By coaching and observing others coach, you build up your own collection of patterns and tools that will help you through difficult conversations.
