Description

Often organizations ask: Do we need Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches or both? In this session we will take a look at the evolution of an Agile Coach as the needs of your teams and organization change over time. We will take a deep dive into the dynamics of agile coaching as your organization moves from agile team launches to true organizational transformation.

Key Take-aways:

  
• Understand the difference between agile team facilitation and agile coaching
  
• Compare team agility to organizational agility
  
• Be able to decide how to staff the support you need for your agile transformation based on the needs of your organization
  
• Understand the development path for a scrum master to become an agile coach
