What is an agile coach?

What is Coaching?

There are multiple definitions out there to answer this question. Put it all together in simple words- Coaching is a collective involvement of multiple attributes that are used by a coach to assist their coachee(s) to enhance and progress towards a superior future (for example, accomplish goals, make better decisions, improved behavior, efficaciously handle a particular scenario, etc).

In the course of coaching, the coach guides the coachee to address the challenge with a simplified approach. The coach always stays neutral and creates a secure place for the coachee to find a solution.

What does a Coach do?

Here is what Scrum Master as a coach does:

  • Indulge in active listening with an open mind.
  • Ask powerful questions; this instigates finding their own solutions.
  • Reflect: Enhance the ability of coachees to be well aware of their thinking
  • Establish a better clarity of objectives and thoughts.
  • Leads by example and practices generative listening.
  • Enable culture and structure that encourages the coachees to take necessary actions.
  • Help the Scrum team to unleash their purpose and value.
