Manchester Agile Coaches come with the classic people skills and empathy of Mancunians, while also being used to hard graft and challenging situations.
In my time I’ve attended many industry events related to product delivery, with ‘Agile Coach Manchester‘ emblazoned on my badge. I’ve been working with agency and product delivery teams for decades.
A Manchester Digital member in one form or another for many years. Their championing of all digital businesses in Manchester, as well as diversity, a range of events and even training programmes is invaluable.
While Agile comes in many forms, I’ve worked with most of them. The increasingly popular Scrum Framework of course. I’m a certified Scrum Master and have played Scrum roles in Manchester and beyond. SAFe for larger organisations, where I’ve strengthened teams in roles including Scrum Master, Agile Coach, Release Train Engineer (RTE) and Product Owner. I’ve also had experience with Kanban, Lean, and XP.
In this newly remote-first world, there are no longer vast differences between in-person and remote support. So whether you’re looking for an Agile Coach in Manchester or a remote Agile Coach with a great deal of experience in both agency and product organisation roles, I can help.
Agile Coaching is often about pragmatism and context specific guidance. No two teams and situations are the same, and a one size fits all approach is rarely the right solution to the needs of an Agile transformation.
Whether your focus is on improving your Net Promoter Score (NPS), your internal Net Promoter Score (eNPS), Total bugs found in production or something else, it’s probably an Agile Challenge I have experience with.
The Agile Manifesto and its principles and values can be enough for the early transformation foundations that are desirable. But frameworks are more suitable for larger, more experienced teams.
Level of experience is key. Sometimes education of the Agile methodology is desirable, while sometimes it’s more relevant to coach around existing knowledge and processes.
As ICAgile define it:
An agile team coach guides individuals and teams to reach high performance. They weave together skills from professional facilitation, professional coaching, mentoring, and teaching—all in service of delivering business results that matter.
