Abstract
What does it mean to be an Agile Coach? One view is based on the ICAgile
standards, and features combinations of teaching, facilitation, professional
coaching, and mentoring. But the trick is to know when to use each of these
stances. AgileBill Krebs was the first person to pass the ICAgile expert coaching
gate and serves on the panel to review other coaches. Join us for this interactive
session where we sharpen your coaching skills. Which stance are you?
