Agile Coach Compentencies

Who is an Agile Coach?

Though, there is no universal definition of what is an Agile Coach. We want to define, Someone who developed deep expertise to help people, teams, and organisations enable better customer outcomes by focusing on an organisation’s internal and external orientation. The first Agile Coaching Competency framework was developed by Lyssa Adkins and Michael Spaydback in 2011. The model has been adopted and adapted as the application of Agile has grown over the years. we have taken this model as a reference to help illustrate the focus areas of an Agile coach when it comes to Coaching.
