Agile Virtual Summit: Coaching Edition – Code of Ethical Conduct for Agile Coaching
My talk with Alex Sloley and Shane Hastie from Agile Virtual Summit: Coaching Edition called “Code of Ethical Conduct for Agile Coaching” is available on Slideshare.
People serving in an agile coaching role are expected to act ethically, but what does that mean in practice?Agile coaching is an evolving profession encompassing many disciplines including individual, team and systemic coaching, facilitating, teaching and mentoring, all applied with an open and deliberate bias towards using agile approaches to help address a client’s needs.
The complexity of agile coaching means that you will inevitably encounter difficult situations.
What if you had a Code you could follow that would help support you when difficult decisions need to be made?
What if that same Code helped you act courageously in every situation, even if there is a personal negative impact?
A group of volunteers has been working on crafting just that code. Specifically a Code of Ethical Conduct for Agile Coaching under an Agile Alliance initiative.
This talk will present the background to the work which has been done so far, walk you through the content of the code and explain where it can go in the future.
During the session, you’ll be introduced to a few ethics scenarios that will help you identify the types of dilemmas you may face in the field. You’ll discover some examples of appropriate and inappropriate ethical behavior in these different contexts, and how to address them.
A huge thanks to Adam Weisbart for the invitation and Lyssa Adkins for supporting this message and getting us on the program. Please review the Code of Ethical Conduct for Agile Coaching and related scenarios. You can watch the video or grab the transcript by subscribing to the All Access Pass.
Agile Open Summit 2021 – Rethinking Retrospectives: Beyond the Three Columns
My talk with Michael Huynh from Agile Online Summit 2021 called “Rethinking Retrospectives: Beyond the Three Columns” is available on Slideshare.
The concept of continuous improvement is to stop, pause, reflect, and make small adjustments for the team to improve. But are retrospectives really enough for your teams to improve sprint to sprint? What if your best retrospective still doesn’t yield the results desired and doesn’t move your team out of first gear? What often happens is a narrow view from a team’s perspective on the last sprint or retrospectives don’t provide enough coverage on the broader topics beyond the last iteration.
Simply put, retrospectives are no longer enough!
Join Craig and Michael as they both share their experience and taking your teams to the next level!
