Agile Coach

The key attributes of an effective Agile Coach include experience in deploying Agile, in organizational change, in playing agile roles on a team, and in working with the business benefits of Agile.

If you don’t know what an agile culture and effectively running agile practices look like, then how do you learn to recognize it? This is one of the key values of having an Agile Coach to help you. A Coach possesses deep agile deployment knowledge to ensure the product teams are implementing  Agile effectively. This includes helping teams both mechanically do Agile and behaviorally be Agile.

Another benefit of an Agile Coach is that they help sustain the adoption of Agile practices and mindset. Agile training provides initial knowledge for teams. However, team members can easily revert back to traditional habits. An Agile Coach reinforces agile values and principles and ensures that the team continues both the expected practices and behaviors.

An Agile Coach can provide consistency when multiple teams are adopting Agile at the same time. The Agile Coach also understands both the short-term and long-term pitfalls that can occur when a hierarchical organization is moving to Agile. They can help mitigate the challenges ahead of time.

Non-Agile Pit Stop A coach can help an organization avoid the following situations: “We don’t need to document anything because we are Agile”; “We don’t need any management support because we are self-organized”; and “We can’t tell you what we’re building until the end of the project because we are using Agile.”
