2. What we’ll cover in this program
• What the heck is Agile?
• Why should you care?
• How you can add it to your toolbox

3. For years, technical projects were getting
cumbersome and ineffective
I didn’t get
what I
wanted
Long months of drudgery
I need a new
payroll system!
I give
up!

4. Agile Methodology evolved as a better way to
get projects done efficiently
I need a new
payroll system!
This works
well so far!
This works
well so far!
Can you

Perfect!
Just
what I
needed!

5. Scrum is an iterative way to do Agile

6. Agile Done Right requires teams that are
highly collaborative
Teams are self-managed
The ‘Scrum Master’ helps
make this happen
The customer is part of
the team, and drives
what is being produced
Teams swarm together to get
the work done efficiently

7. Team collaboration does not happen by magic
– it happens by coaching
Coaches can use all the competencies to coach the
team to high performance

8. There are many opportunities to coach
in Agile
• Management
• Leadership Teams
• Project Teams
• Other coaches/Scrum Masters

9. This is where YOU Come in!
• Few Scrum Masters have been trained in coaching
• Yet, without strong coaching, few teams are able to
adapt to Agile and thrive
• Coaches trained in the competencies and team
coaching have a strong opportunity to build a
successful business as an Agile Coach
You need to be a savvy team
coach
AND be able to talk the talk of
the teams!

10. You don’t have to have a technical
background to introduce Agile to businesses
Any business that uses
teams to get work done can
benefit from Agile
Marketing Firms Construction Firms Law Firms
Commercial Real Estate Firms
