An agile coach helps teams adopt (and improve) Agile methods to their work. They spend time with teams to help them to become more aware of how to move their work through the agile process and how to collaborate effectively, with an end goal of the teams becoming adept at applying agile practices having increased their productivity, performance, and proficiency in agile software development. A coach can offer an outside perspective and help the team identify the “elephant in the room” that is keeping the team from optimal performance. A coach acts as an advisor after formal training, helping the team put their training into action. There is more to coaching than simply knowledge transfer. It is much more about helping people rethink their built in assumptions and mental paradigms, resetting their behavior based on Agile values. A coach helps people overcome their own resistance to change. Rather than making choices for the team, the coach provides guidance about the choices available, perhaps making recommendations, and encouraging them to consider the options and choose their actions. The coach offers observations about the team’s activities, and helps the team make its own observations and reflect on what action they can take. Initially a Coach can facilitate change with some training and by walking each team through the Agile ceremonies – sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives, etc. As the teams became more familiar with the activities, the coach can reduce their involvement and allow team members to take over. Coaches need to be able to withdraw when the time is right and let the team continue without the team falling back to their old ways. A Coach also helps to expose and foster best practices seen elsewhere. Coaches are in the unique position of seeing how lots of teams work and should be on the lookout for practices that might help others. These can be found in other teams within Life or USIS, organizations outside of USIS, or even outside of PFG. A Coach can identify issues common to multiple teams and facilitate discussions, training, etc. to help teams grow and improve. Qualities of a coach: An Agile Coach should have experience working in an Agile team, preferably that practiced Scrum. Like the Agile Manifesto, many qualities in a coach are valued, but some are valued higher than other: · Value asking probing questions over portraying to have all the answers · Value framing change as an experiment over dictating a “right” way to do something · Value showing up as a servant over swooping in as a savior Thanks & Regards….
