Life coaches masquerading as Agile Coaches

TL;DR; The podcast discusses concerns about life coaches presenting themselves as Agile Coaches without the necessary Agile experience or credentials, which can mislead organizations. True Agile Coaches typically have extensive hands-on Agile practice and formal training. Development managers should verify the background and expertise of Agile Coaches before engaging them to ensure effective support for their teams.

In this month’s edition of #agileactually , Simon Reindl and Martin Hinshelwood explore the latest trend in #agile for a life coach to present themselves as an #agilecoach to organizations.

In most cases, an #agilecoach or #agilecosultant will have years of experience as an #agilepractitioner , actively working in an #agileteam , followed by certification and practise as an #agilecoach leading multiple #agileteams in multiple applications.

That’s why it’s controversial that someone with very little #professionalcoaching skills and #agile knowledge would present themselves to organizations as an #agilecoach .

Good? Bad? Or just plain ugly?

Find out in this month’s Agile Actually Podcast.
