5. Delivering products and services that your customers want
A coach can help teach your team how to identify customer needs and develop their roles and responsibilities accordingly. Once this is done, a coach can also help break down delivery into short increments. Helping deliver smart, high-value improvements to your products and services is an area where the Agile coach shines.
6. Making fast, critical decisions to avoid common failure patterns
By improving team dynamics, communication and transparency, a coach can instill practices that help leadership avoid pitfalls and minimise risk. Agile teams are better equipped to identify issues and develop quick, intelligent solutions.
7. Improving progress visibility
By focusing on transparency, communication and inter-departmental collaboration, an Agile coach can ensure the development process can be conducted with the least friction possible. Progress visibility means employees at any level have project oversight and can contribute meaningfully to the process.
