BIG Question
Agile Coaches, what T-shaped or Pi-shaped skills do you bring to the table to leverage in your Agile Coaching?
From an Agile Coaching Growth Wheel perspective, I’m looking for strengths in the Advising, Leading, Agile / Lean Practitioner, Transforming, and Serving competencies. I would include Guiding Learning – Mentoring here as well.
Below is a checklist for you to consider and complete—
Software Development
DevOps
Business Domain
Product Domain
Operational Lean Experience
Transformation (Organizational Change)
Software Architecture & Design
Testing
Project Management
Line Leadership (Manager, Team lead, Director)
Senior Leadership (Director, VP, Executive)
Business Analysis
UX
Hardware design
Customer Support
Others?
