What we’re about
Are you tired of the no-accountability, wishy-washy nonsense that passes for Agile Coaching and Agile Adoption in our industry? Would you like to increase the accountability and integrity demonstrated by those who call themselves Agile Coaches or guide organization on their path to Agility?
If you answered yes to these questions, then this group might be for you. The purpose of our group is to explore how ROI-based coaching approaches can help organizations create sustainable, measurable value created through the application of Agile principles, values and practices.
We will focus on topics that touch upon at least one of these areas...
- ROI based training, coaching, consulting that can empirically demonstrate lasting improvements in value for organization
- Coaching approaches accredited by the International Coaching Federation
- Agile methods that are true to the Agile Manifesto and Principles
