Agile Coaching is right for you if …
- … your team needs to adopt agile methods – Scrum, Kanban oder OKR – and you need an experienced coach to guide you.
- … you're already working in an agile way, but dailies, sprint planning and retros feel more like box-ticking than genuine improvement.
- … your organisation is starting an agile transformation and needs a team that leads the way and learns.
- … roles are unclear – decision-makers, coordinators, stakeholders – and nobody knows who decides what.
What you'll take away
- Agile methods your team actually uses – not just knows about
- Clear responsibilities within the team – who decides what
- Functioning sprint cycles with planning, review and retrospective
- A backlog that is prioritised and reflects real customer value
- Tools for continuous improvement (inspect & adapt)
