Get your teams to where they need to be faster with agile coaching.  

For many organisations seeking to build their agility, using coaches to get teams up to speed can be a great way to get started. We provide agile coaching support in two ways – supporting your teams with an experienced SoftEd coach, or building up your own internal coaching capability through our unique coaching academy.  We can offer coaching either in-person or live online.

External coaching

Our coaches will help you to adopt a new way of working by assisting to embed the mindset, principles and practices of agility. They will guide your through the change process, help you to speed up the time to the delivery of value, and address any blockers along the way.

Our coaching team are all experienced practitioners and are able to provide guidance on best practice whilst contextualising solutions to your unique organisation. 

We offer the following services:

  • Delivery team coaching: Coaching agile teams to establish self-organising cross-functional teams.
  • Program coaching:  Coaching to support a particular project/program initiative. This includes support of an agile adoption or agile transformation effort. 
  • Agile coach training: To build a cohort of internal agile coaches.
  • Leadership coaching: Coaching leaders to implement new ways of working and thinking to lead, guide and support an agile adoption.   

Our focus with any coaching engagement is knowledge transfer - building up in-house skills, experience and knowledge so that over time your organisation is self-sufficient.
