• Grow your role from ScrumMaster to Agile Coach

    From: ScrumMaster


    Focused on helping the team abide by the process.

    Works on a team level and is involved with daily activities.

    Keeps a team in motion, maintains the team's course.

    Part of the team, the main contact for the team.

    To: Agile Coach

    Design new and creative ways to facilitate agile meetings – retrospectives, daily standups, etc.

    Foster collaborative decision making and consensus building
