Agile Coaches often are implementing this new methodology for the first time, meaning that in addition to coaching they are driving organizational change.
The goal of a Agile Coach is to improve teams and overall projects by increasing collaboration, innovation, and introducing techniques that promote adaptability and flexibility in the face of unpredictable circumstances.
In our Agile organization the Agile Coach coaches the people in all areas: People, Product, Technology and Process to improve value and flow continuously.
In his role the Agile Coach leads by example and shows the team how the methodology is used. He/She is in close contact with the team members and takes a teaching role towards them. The Agile Coach is not only responsible for implementing new methods but also for the day to day activities of the team like moderating meetings and clearing impediments.
