The team coaching framework™ (or tcf) is a revolutionary initiative by agile42 to speed up the team learning process and performance, and to help new agile coaches in any organization. It creates a structured approach to coaching which aims at improving team performance by providing clear guidance and structure to the coaches. It allows for members of an organization or the larger professional community to share everyone’s experience and improvements. The tcf defines coaching tools, instruments that a coach can introduce in the work of a team to change its behavior. An assessment allows the coach to measure the maturity of a team, and through coaching cards she can focus on a specific behavioral goal for it.
I found this out very early in my scrum master career that without invoking positive behavioral changes within the people, my efforts to serve the team in creating a high performing team will yield only limited and short-lived results. The behavioral coaching may not necessarily be called so and may be embedded within the scrum master's regular coaching interventions. From my experience coaching scrum teams and agile leaders, some of the behavioral changes desired by coachees have been: moving from traditional control style to self-organization, from plan-it-all to being comfortable with iterative planning, from can't-fail to experimentation mindset, from someone will assign me the work to what can i do to help the team accomplish its goals behaviors.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. — principles behind the agile manifesto that includes us as scrum masters. If we’re spending more time and energy on preparation, facilitation and moving from coaching co-located teams to remote teams this will be tiring. Serve the team but also look after yourself. When we work on remote first teams that are that way by design it is different to working with teams that have suddenly found themselves working remotely. When fulfilling a coaching role for a team i think that sensitivity to this is important.
Do I get an Agile Coach Certification?
A scrum coach is someone that has a bit of a broader perspective than the team focused scrum master. Typically, a scrum coach has been a scrum master and possibly a product owner as well in the past. They have experience far beyond a two-day training certification. Most coaches have had multiple years in each role to gain much needed experience and perspective. Scrum coaches are typically brought into an organization as consultants. A scrum coach focuses on the whole organization or a specific division of an organization. They work with and impact multiple teams. They organize teams to allow for effective agile development across teams.
There are many different role names that are in use, which can sometimes be confusing. Agile coaches are sometimes called: agile facilitators, scrum masters, scrum coaches, iteration managers, kanban coaches, or enterprise agile coaches. The easiest way to think about agile coaching is through the lens of who is being coached by whom. The agile coaching institute offers three certification levels for agile coaching , which align with three most common scenarios.
