Regd. Education ProviderAn Agile coach serves as a mentor to the agile team, facilitating agile thinking and practices and empowering the team to reach their goals through improved team practices. By providing focussed guidance, the coach enhances awareness of the business goals and objectives and acts as a teacher, guide, problem solver, team builder and planner all at once. The agile coach is able to foster a new culture of agile-lean thinking and usher in positive change by changing the organizational culture and redefining the work paradigm to reflect an agile attitude.

One of the new roles in the agile field is that of the team coach; an expert guide and mentor who can help the team improve their working methods to reach peak performances. Reports from Yahoo! suggest that teams without agile coaching escalate their productivity by 35%, but teams who have an agile coach on board are able to achieve a staggering 300% increase in productivity.
Agile coaches help the people to rethink their individual roles and work together as a cohesive and collaborative agile team. Very often, while people understand the theory behind agile, they find it difficult to implement it in practice, and this is where the agile coach’s role as a change agent comes into play.
