Need for Agile Coach
- Unrealistic expectations: Agile is easy to understand but hard to master thus resulting in problems during the transition due to unrealistic expectations of how easy it is to implement agile within the team or organization. The agile coach is responsible for making the transition process smooth for the teams.
- Every situation is different: There may be cases sometimes when the project managers have implemented all the right Agile processes but still, something is not working properly. Agile practices that work in one business unit may not work in other. The role of the agile coach is to plan and design the adoption of agile values across multiple teams.
- Agile not delivering expected results: There are situations when agile is not delivering expected results. An agile coach helps here to figure out the reasons why agile is not delivering the expected results and determines the steps that need to be taken to remedy the situation.
