Agile Software Team Coaching
Be part of the best software team you can imagine with help from
the 13-week Agile Team Coaching Program.
The Agile Team Coaching Program (ATCP) uses a unique industry-first Coaching approach that delivers:
Experimentation techniques to quickly learn the best way for your Team to
approach your project
A tool kit of agile ideas you can use after the ATCP
Communication with the leadership team to address roadblocks
ATCP versus Traditional Agile Team Coaching
Traditional Coach/Consultant
In Traditional agile team coaching the norm is to have an Agile Coach stay with the Team full-time or part-time for an extended period.
Limitations of dedicated Agile Team Coaches
Teams fall back to old ways of working after the Coach leaves the Team
The Team becomes dependent on the Coach instead of learning coaching skills inside their Teams
Very expensive and difficult to scale
BTW Scrum was initially designed with the Scrum Master acting as the Team Coach. However, somewhere along the agile adoption journey, our industry developed a new term called “Agile Coach” and made this a full-time role, interesting but unnecessary.
The 13-Week Agile Team Coaching Program helps your team be their own coaches!
3 Things we learned about Agile Coaching
1 Ethnography counts. Ethnography explores cultural phenomena from the subject’s perspective. In this case, the Scrum Master and Team. In other words, this study’s how the Scrum Master and Team do things when the agile coach is not there; that is the actual test of performance enhancement.
2 People change slower than we want, usually much slower.
3 Full-time coaching is costly because of idle time when the teams are executing their projects. I think we can all agree our industry needs a different approach to quickly improving Scrum Team agile adoption.
To address this issue, Scrum Masters Inc. created the Agile Team Coaching Program. The ATCP is designed to develop a very high level of software project competency with the Teams in a brief period, allowing the teams to:
improve time to market by employing agile techniques that are known to work
develop a very high level of skills that stick
reduce stress and create a steady, sustainable pace.
The Agile Team Coaching Program
has three steps.
Step #1 Assessment and Planning
Three meetings to gain background and develop a plan:
one hour meeting with the Scrum Master
one hour meeting with the Team
and lastly, a one-hour session with the manager they report to.
With the background from these meetings and in collaboration with management, Scrum Master, and the Team,we will create a backlog of improvements to work on over the 13-week program and assign KPIs to measure it.
