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. |

Impacting Organizational Agility |
Imagine your business and IT teams being so motivated, empowered, disciplined, efficient and collaborative that your results exceed your expectations …
Imagine your ability to nimbly and swiftly respond to market changes, proactively leading your business forward with innovative solutions. |
 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.

 August 2011 @ Agile 2011 (updated from presentation in May 2011 @ Agile Denver Talk)
Agility as a process is well understood today in feedback generating iterations or as a flow. Agility as a structure is becoming better understood through cross-functional teams working collaboratively. However, Agility as a culture has very little exposure - yet culture impacts every attempt at agility. |
