Agile coaching

Agile coaching is de core-business van AgileCT. Agile is niet moeilijk om uit te leggen, maar het blijkt in de praktijk dat Agile worden - en tevens blijven - genoeg uitdagingen met zich mee brengt. Dit is waar ervaren Agile coaches het verschil kunnen maken.
AgileCT biedt Agile coaching aan op teamlevel: een ervaren Agile coach helpt dan Agile teams zich verder te ontwikkelen door coaching van Scrum Masters en/of de Product Owners. Hiernaast biedt AgileCT coaching aan op managementlevel: een Agile coach kan helpen om de overgang van traditioneel management naar Agile leadership te maken. Hierbij kan ook een managementteam dat Agile wil gaan werken worden gecoacht bij het zélf omarmen van een Agile way-of-working.
Agile coaching can be done in many ways. For example, an Agile coach can be present at Agile team events and provide feedback afterwards. But also 1-on-1 coaching for managers for example, is possible. A coaching program can be drawn, with an appropriate form, duration and intensity.

Agile training

Good training is the basis of Agile. A clear understanding of Agile principles and Agile ways-of-working (eg Scrum or Kanban) is a first, really important step. AgileCT training courses focus on team level, management and scaled Agile. Some of the available training courses: Agile Foundation, Scrum & Kanban, Scrum Master, Agile Leader and Leading SAFe.
AgileCT distinguishes itself by offering training courses that, on top of a theoretical basis, always highlight practical examples. Investments in Agile training will quickly pay off in faster learning curves of the trainees when embracing Agile!
Each training request is preceded by a short intake, to determine the knowledge level of the trainees, and to see which content will best suit the needs. Various trainings prepare trainees for official external examinations as well.

Agile transformations

For a company to become Agile as a whole, it is not sufficient to just implement Agile on team-level. An Agile transformation stretches itself over the entire company. Agile "scaling frameworks" such as SAFe, LeSS or Nexus, or the best-practices as developed by the Swedish company Spotify can help with transformations.
After a successful transformation, team-alignment at the tactical level will be set up. At the strategic level, portfolio management can be put in place as well. The role of management as Agile leaders is very important when transforming. They act as change agents so that Agile transformations actually happen.
When called upon for Agile transformations, the initial effort of AgileCT will focus on exploratory studies to formulate a plan. During the eventual subsequent Agile transformation period, AgileCT can also provide Agile coaching and training.

The vision of AgileCT

A pragmatic approach is part of our services. Agile is a means to an end: to generate as much Business value as possible. For every situation, the best Agile way-of-working needs to be found, naturally without extensive analyses. Experience has taught to have a holistic view of companies and organizations. Agile can work optimally only if a company or organization changes as a whole.

Staff
AgileCT telt op dit moment één vaste medewerker: oprichter en eigenaar Michiel Penraad. Michiel heeft ruim 9 jaar ervaring met Agile werken, waarvan de laatste 7 jaar als (senior) Agile coach. De laatste jaren heeft hij zich vooral beziggehouden met het (bege)leiden van Agile transformaties op strategisch-/portfolio-, tactisch- én teamniveau, gebruikmakend van het Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). Hierbij spendeert hij tijd aan het coachen (en trainen) van medewerkers/teams en leidinggevenden die een (voor hen nieuwe) rol bij het Agile werken vervullen. Daarnaast aan het (mede-)organiseren/faciliteren van events en het verbeteren van processen en tooling.
Michiel is ingezet geweest bij grote commerciele bedrijven als de NS, KLM en TenneT, maar heeft ook de nodige ervaring opgedaan bij overheidsinstanties als het Openbaar Ministrie, Logius en CIZ.
