Title
Perspectives on Agile Coaching
Abstract
There are many perspectives to agile coaching including: growing coaching expertise, selecting the appropriate coach for your context; and evaluating value. A coach is often an itinerant who may observe, mentor, negotiate, influence, lead, and/or architect everything from team organization to system architecture. With roots in diverse fields ranging from technology to sociology coaches have differing motivations and experience bases. This panel will bring together coaches to debate and discuss various perspectives on agile coaching. Some of the questions to be addressed will include: What are the skills required for effective coaching? What should be the expectations for teams or individuals being coached? Should coaches be: a corporate resource (internal team of consultants working with multiple internal teams); an integral part of a specific team; or external contractors? How should coaches exercise influence and authority? How should management assess the value of a coaching engagement? Do you have what it takes to be a coach? - This panel will bring together seasoned agile coaches to offer their experience and advice on how to be the best You can be!
