Presentation: I Quit Being an Agile Coach and Maybe You Should Too

Track: Beyond Agile / Time: Friday 11:30 - 12:20 / Location: Paris

Being an Agile Coach (or a Scrum Coach) is a job title that many developers and also non-technical people strive hard to achieve. After 10 years of calling myself "Agile Coach" I decided to leave the title behind - together with some of the advice I used to give. This talk will tell you why my clients are better off now and why you and your clients might profit from a career change too.
