The Blurb
Would you like to help your team transition into the "joyful pursuit of acting as a high performance team?" Do you want to understand what you should be "doing" as an Agile coach, but also how to "be" a coach? More and more frequently, Scrum Masters and project managers are being asked to coach agile teams. This challenging role requires new skills - as well as a subtle understanding of when to step in and when to step back. Migrating from "command and control" to agile coaching requires a whole new mind-set. This leaves many wondering, "What is my role in a self-organized team? How do I help the team yet stay hands-off?" "Is this a leadership role, or not?" It is easy to go too far to either extreme - some take too much control, while others leave the team too much alone to "self-organize". In this session, Lyssa Adkins and Michael K. Spayd explore the world of Agile Coaching and the related discipline of professional coaching, providing a framework for thinking about our new discipline, the new competencies it requires, and the new way of being that makes it all work.
Come join us to listen to Lyssa and Michael talk about Coaching Great Agile Teams.
Our Speakers
Lyssa’s new book, Coaching Agile Teams, has set a new high water mark for the practice of Agile Coaching. Michael’s Agile Enterprise model has shifted the discussion to the broader organizational world of culture, change and leadership. Both trained in the world of professional coaching, Lyssa and Michael have combined to help take the world of Agile Coaching to a new level of potential and professional rigor.
