Coaching Agile Teams
Since 2004, Lyssa Adkins has taught Scrum to hundreds of students, led numerous agile teams, and acted as master coach to numerous apprentice coaches. She delivers the "Coaching Agile Teams" training course, which enables agile coaches to learn, practice, and hone the skills and mindsets described in the book.
As an agile coach, you may assist project teams in becoming agile experts, producing products that they are proud of, and assisting companies in reaping the strong benefits of teams that offer both innovation and excellence. ScrumMasters and project managers are increasingly being expected to coach agile teams. However, it is a difficult role. It necessitates the acquisition of new abilities as well as a subtle understanding of when to move in and when to step back. Moving from "command and control" to agile coaching necessitates a complete shift in mindset.
Lyssa Adkins' Coaching Agile Teams provides agile coaches with the knowledge they need to adopt this new mindset and steer teams to outstanding performance in a revitalized work environment. You'll obtain a comprehensive understanding of the agile coach's role, uncover what works and what doesn't, and learn how to apply powerful abilities from a variety of associated disciplines, including professional coaching and mentoring.
There is coverage for:
- Knowing what it takes to be an excellent agile coach
- Mastering all of the tasks of the agile coach: teacher, mentor, problem solver, conflict navigator, and performance coach
- fostering a climate conducive to the formation of self-organized, high-performance teams
- Coaching teams to move beyond cooperation and into full collaboration as your team grows and changes
- Maintaining active involvement without controlling your team and hindering its progress
- Recognizing the modes of failure, recovery, and success in your coaching
- Making the most of your individual agile coaching trip
Coaching Agile Teams will help you become skilled at assisting others in becoming truly great, whether you are an agile coach, leader, trainer, mentor, facilitator, ScrumMaster, project manager, product owner, or team member. What could be more fulfilling than that?
