conference contribution
posted on 2015-03-30, 16:56 authored by Rory V. O'Connor, Natalia DuckonovaThis paper explores the value of Agile Coaching for companies
adopting agile methods.in order to assist those who are adopting agile methods
to decide on using or not using an Agile Coach by examining the value they can
bring to companies adopting agile methods. In our research we surveyed three
distinct groups: companies that used an Agile Coach for agile adoption,
companies that adopted agile on their own and Agile Coaches themselves
without the help of an Agile Coach. The data collected indicates that Agile
Coaches can bring numerous benefits to companies, which in fact exceed the
financial costs of using an Agile Coach. Therefore we suggest that there is
financial value in using an Agile Coach for agile adoption, which is represented
by faster return on investment (ROI) on the change
