Agile coach as a connecting factor: Agile coaching is about people. When implementing Agile working, the first attention often goes to the processes. Because of this focus, less attention is given to the human side. That is why our Agile coaching is mainly about people. After all, if you are not able to move people to a different way of working, you will not achieve your goal. That is what a good Agile coach stands for.
A good Agile coach is someone who:
Process knowledge or people knowledge?
The reality is that not always the right people are put on a change process. Coaches who only have an eye for 'the process' and who know everything about Agile methods such as LEAN and Scrum on paper, do not always achieve the desired change. Often due to the lack of 'soft' human skills. Coaching is therefore something different than just following a process, which is how we distinguish ourselves. After all, in every organization you have to deal with different people. The strength lies in learning to understand these differences, so that team members complement each other and can achieve a good result together.
In a good change process, an Agile coach will help the team to organize itself as much as possible. At the same time, he can also be the connecting factor between the different teams and the higher management, whereby management indicates the direction and the teams themselves deal with the 'how'. This results in an attractive win-win situation for the teams and management, in which strategy and execution merge seamlessly.
Approach
ABB has developed a Team Dynamics model to give teams better insight into their way of working together and what maturity stage they are in. This model is based on a combination of the ideas of Lencioni and Tuckman. This involves giving confidence, being able to speak freely without fear of being attacked and the different phases that a team goes through.
Intensive involvement and taking well-founded decisions is not possible without trust. Trust also means that you hold each other accountable for the progress of what has been agreed together. After all, conflicts and confrontations are extremely productive, because without them no change can take place. That is the basic principle for optimally deploying the knowledge and expertise of team members and letting them take responsibility for achieving beautiful and innovative results together.
Guiding this process makes the difference between a coach and a good coach.
