The Role of an Agile Coach: Catalyst for Change
June 01, 2017
-Karthik Gurumurthy
I love my role as an agile coach. An Agile coach serves as an objective observer and facilitator of organizational improvement. Our mandate is to conduct thorough assessments of team practices, provide data-driven observations, and identify improvement opportunities through reasoned analysis.
We present alternative perspectives and methodologies to expand teams' consideration of possible solutions. However, the implementation of changes remains at the discretion of the team. While we cannot mandate behavioral changes, it is our responsibility to emphasize a fundamental truth: maintaining current practices while expecting different outcomes is fundamentally counterproductive.
The relationship between behavior and results is immutable. Without meaningful changes in approach and execution, teams should anticipate continued disappointment in their pursuit of improved outcomes.
In essence, sustainable improvement requires both the recognition of necessary changes and the willingness to implement them
