                                           Karan Nangru
An Agile Coach tries to…
Foster an excellent use of agile techniques so that
business achieve their goal faster and better

    •   Help the organization achieve astonishing results – Those that
        matter to the business as well as the team
    •   Help the team evolve healthier gene
    •   Help team members in their agile journey – so that they are
        better agilists who contribute to the team better not sans a
        better personal growth

Evolving into an Agile Coach...




  www.agiletour.org           3
DNA of an Agile Coach…



You shouldn't feel the need to expect this, a good coach has it in the blood…

       •   The nose of a dog…. they smell what’s cooking…
       •   Expect them to be humane…. products are bi-products….
       •   Ever so curious : when? how? why? …..No dress codes, no protocols….
       •   Expect humungous appetite …. You are always learning…
       •   Expect them to be occasionally wrong …. For they’ll accept it…
       •   Sometimes chaotic….. Roadmap to success in the making…
       •   If you can’t assert it, don’t expect them to follow it….
       •   Passionate about personal and professional excellence

                                                 www.agiletour.org               4
Attaining Nirvana…

                     Bespeak aspirations such as……..
                     …
                     …
                     …




www.agiletour.org                                      5
You can NEVER sustain Nirvana…


                                                             So close, yet so far……..
                                                Almost assuredly, as soon as the team starts
                                                living in high performance…..
                                                       •   A team member gets promoted and
                                                           starts micromanaging team mates
                                                       •   Company re-organized
                                                       •   New CxO…. Nirvana relocated - CxO
                                                           way rather than the teams way
                                                       •   Maternity leaves
                                                       •   Marriage leaves
                                                       •   Team member leaves the company

Teach the team that they are capable of recovering from setbacks.. Fully and quickly!!


                                   www.agiletour.org                                        6
As an Agile Coach, what is your Native Conflict Response Mode?
                                                          •   Accommodating




            There is a world between stimulus and response,
                      this is where Character lies….
                             www.agiletour.org                                7
An Agile Coach may play the following Roles…
          • Keen observer
          • Gets out of then content and focuses on facilitation to
          improve quality of interaction


          • What to teach the team during standup?
          • How much time to spend on the start-up session?
          • How to integrate new team members in the team?


          • Extent to which Agile coach solves a problem VS team’s
          responsibility to solve it
          •Tools to use to detect problems
          • Having courage to ask “where are we weak?” is an agile
          coach’s duty

          • Resolving their conflict is not your job. Helping them see
          it and choose what to do about it is
          • Pay close attention to the team when in conflict,
          consciously decide whether to intervene
