 In our introduction to how this course developed, we discussed the fact that the standard competencies of agile coaching – mentoring, facilitating, problem-solving, and conflict navigating – are essential, but simply not enough. This workshop focuses on the coach’s role in engaging the leadership, the system, and the cultural layers of an organization to affect and sustain real change.

Agility is most often led "Outside-In". Starting with a process like Scrum or Kanban, they expose the impediments or bottlenecks from within the organization. Then they work deeper inside the organization to fix the "problems". Through this approach, changes often don't stick and agility plateaus or degrades over time. Leading agility "Inside-Out" builds, sustains and grows agility. It starts with the values of agility and why their important to the organization, then focuses on the organizational structures to support agility. This session introduces an "inside-out" approach and highlights two companies highly successful agile companies who have leveraged it: Salesforce.com and McKinsey & Co. |

As many of you already know, I am the program lead for the Certified Scrum Coaching (CSC) Program with the Scrum Alliance. As the program lead, it is my responsibility to facilitate the review process, review teams, and review application. While a relatively new program founded in 2007, our numbers are growing each year with now almost 50 Certified Coaches. However, we believe our potential and need in the industry is 10x that number. This article provides some understanding of the CSC Program and guidance for those who wish to apply. As one of the founders of the program, I am passionate about clients being successful with Scrum. It is my experience that success with Scrum requires education and coaching. Most difficulties in Scrum don't arise from learning the Scrum framework, rather they arise in applying the framework on an existing organizational structure and culture. This requires hands-on experienced guidance, and not just at the team-level, but at the leadership and organizational-level. |
