The Trap of being an Embedded Agile Coach – following up…

The original post on this topic was one of my more popular posts. As of, August 14th, 2019, it’s received: 

  • On LinkedIn, ~9,500 views, 86 reactions, and 40 comments

  • On my website, ~2,500 views and 18 comments 

What’s particularly noteworthy for me is the number of comments and the overall depth, breadth, and thoughtfulness of them.

Here’s a link to the LinkedIn post - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6561537228772831232/

And here’s a link to my original blog post - http://rgalen.com/agile-training-news/2019/6/23/the-trap-of-being-an-embedded-agile-coach

As I review the comments and thought about the article and my original intentions, I realized that a follow-up would be helpful.

I want to react to some of the comments, but I also want to clarify some of my intentions in the article. As I think some folks might have misinterpreted them. And this is mostly due to my writing.

That being said, I’m not apologizing for the original article. I think it represented my thinking…and still does. I’d just like to clarify a few things.

The Trap of being an Embedded Agile Coach

I was having dinner the other evening with a few agile coaches after teaching a CAL class all day. I think we all wanted to “trap” each other into either: 

  • Revealing our coaching secrets

  • Checking to see where out passions lie

  • Challenging each other on our “agility”

  • And simply, learning from one another

It was a small group and we engaged in some serious discussion and debate around our agile experiences and how to help our client engagements.
