Full Description
The book centers on the art of team coaching specifically for Scrum Masters or Agile practitioners leading teams. This topic remains largely unexamined by the literature as there is a lack of contemporary guidance about coaching Agile teams on acquiring qualities paramount for an adaptive organization - being self-organized and assuming ownership over their ways of working and its results. An Agile practitioner has to either study books on professional coaching that don't provide much information on working in the Agile context or try to implement Agile methodologies and frameworks with fragmented and limited guidance on dealing with teams and group dynamics.
By integrating coaching principles with the realities of an Agile environment, this book provides enough information and relevant case studies to equip a reader with the skills needed to organize coaching, confidently deal with emerging dynamics, and achieve the intended goals. It also connects Agile team coaching with the ICF (International Coaching Federation) Team Coaching competencies, professionalizing the practice.
In Agile ways of working, the team's strength significantly impacts the success of the products they work on. While Agile practitioners are adept at understanding methodologies, frameworks, tools, complementary practices and techniques, many lack coaching skills that address the human aspects of teamwork. This book fills that gap by empowering to effectively coach teams, leading to improved communication and cohesion, increased adaptability, and a culture of continuous improvement.
This book is practical, insightful, and it aims to support not only beginners but also seasoned professionals aspiring to elevate their practice.
