Abstract

What does it mean to be an Agile Coach? One view is based on the ICAgile

standards, and features combinations of teaching, facilitation, professional

coaching, and mentoring. But the trick is to know when to use each of these

stances. AgileBill Krebs was the first person to pass the ICAgile expert coaching

gate and serves on the panel to review other coaches. Join us for this interactive

session where we sharpen your coaching skills. Which stance are you?
