Agile Done Right requires teams that are highly collaborative

Teams are self-managed

The ‘Scrum Master’ helps

make this happen

The customer is part of

the team, and drives

what is being produced

Teams swarm together to get

the work done efficiently

Team collaboration does not happen by magic – it happens by coaching

Coaches can use all the competencies to coach the team to high performance

There are many opportunities to coach in Agile

• Management

• Leadership Teams

• Project Teams

• Other coaches/Scrum Masters

This is where YOU Come in!

• Few Scrum Masters have been trained in coaching

• Yet, without strong coaching, few teams are able to adapt to Agile and thrive

• Coaches trained in the competencies and team coaching have a strong opportunity to build a successful business as an Agile Coach

You need to be a savvy team coach

AND be able to talk the talk of the teams!

You don’t have to have a technical background to introduce Agile to businesses

Any business that uses teams to get work done can

benefit from Agile

Marketing Firms Construction Firms Law Firms

Commercial Real Estate Firms
