An Agile mindset begins with the simple concept that flexibility is the key to business and personal development.

But how do you integrate this into your existing business practices?

Agile coaching can help you develop your team’s skills and approach to collaboration.

Statistics support that Agile projects have a 60% higher success rate than traditional business projects, while Agile businesses also see a 60% increase in revenue after adopting Agile methodology.

Read on to find out how Agile coaching with 1ovmany can radically transform your company’s success.

What Is Agile Coaching?

Agile coaching is the mentorship and coaching of business leaders and teams to help them become higher performers and more flexible in their working approach.

An Agile coach adopts the principles of Agile methodology in their training approach.

Agile practices outline that the core goal is completing a task rather than the focus being on how they get there.

Agile coaches will help business leaders and individuals at a team level adjust their approach to work.

They will transform your business by allowing individuals to work where, when and how they work best.

Agile methodology focuses on reaching a set of deadlines and then allowing for rest between tasks.

It encourages individuals to focus on a positive work-life balance, celebrate success and lets people thrive in their working environment.

How Do Agile Coaches Work?

An Agile coach is a leader in the Agile methodology, which is the grounding behind their coaching techniques.

1ovmany will work with you as a co-partner to outline an Agile transformation plan, and our Agile coaches are the ones that help you navigate the journey.

Agile coaching is based on the following guiding principles:

Teaching & Mentorship 

An Agile coach will mentor and guide you and your teams in Agile management principles.

They will help your team adapt to and thrive in a new way of working.

By identifying each individual's strengths as a team, an Agile coach can help your employees develop professionally.

Process Change

An Agile coach will help businesses and their teams adjust to the Agile transformation plan in a streamlined and hassle-free way.

Your Agile team facilitator will help guide your team through adopting an Agile approach and help them make positive decisions and solutions that will best support your business.

Agile Mindset Shift

An Agile coach will encourage your team to work in ways that suit them best.

Our Agile coaches work within Agile frameworks themselves, so are in the best possible position to advocate for the positives behind Agile working.

Technical Leadership

From software development to Agile transformation planning, our coaches can advise in several business-critical ways.

These solutions-focused coaches will impart essential advice on successfully launching and developing products within your business.
