By agile coaching, we mean the creation, improvement, and implementation of agile processes within the operation and organisation of individual teams or the company as a whole. Such mentoring and leadership of agile teams simplifies their organisation and has a positive impact on their internal structure and cohesion when implementing agile methods and processes within the team.

In relation to agile coaching, several fundamental agile methodology principles should also be mentioned. These include principles such as adapting to client requirements, delivering fast results, and motivating the team to adopt agile approaches, thereby fostering mutual team trust. The goal of agile coaching is therefore to create functional agile teams.

When it comes to the roles of Agile Coach and Scrum Master, there are several differences. While the Agile Coach works with larger teams and usually handles multiple projects simultaneously, the Scrum Master’s team typically consists of fewer individuals and focuses on a specific IT project.

Another distinction lies in the methods used. An Agile Leader employs agile management methods during coaching and mentoring and works more closely with management. Their leadership should focus not only on expanding agile teams but also on developing the entire company. On the other hand, a Scrum Master uses Scrum methodology and processes in their work, building transparency and adaptability within the team.
