Rachel and Liz provide a compelling overview on Agile Coaching. In their book, they give great hints for coaches in XP, Scrum or even Kanban teams. Their book is separated into four major parts. In the first part they discuss the basics for any coaching activity. Leading people and helping them grow is discusses in detail. In addition for Agile coaching the team building process is most relevant. The second part discusses how Agile teams plan their work and how the coach should help them therein. Standup meetings alongside with planning meetings for the release and the iteration are handled. Finally, keeping the planning and the progress visible through big charts and the team board is an issue discussed. The third part strives the quality criteria on Agile teams. The common search for the definition of "Done", test-driven development and clean code are topics handled here. The fourth and last part deals with reflection: customer demonstrations, retrospectives, and self-improvements. Thereby the four parts discuss to a great detail everything an Agile coaches will experience in their work.
The book format introduces in each chapter into the material, digs into more details in the sub-chapters, and concludes each chapter with a list of hurdles an Agile coach may face alongside with a checklist for the reader to review the contents of the chapter. This format makes learning from it very compelling. In addition it's very easy to come back to the content starting in the checklist, dealing with the hurdles or taking a closer look in the table of contents in front of the book. The book is a must read for anyone wanting to coach teams - it does not only help on Agile projects, but preferably there.

A Book for Every Software Manager Developer
1. September 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
There was a time when software developers worked with consultants that will do things for their company or teach some technical knowledge. Agile approaches have brought forward another type of people: coaches. According to Rachel Davies and Liz Sedley, a coach doesn't tell you what to do, rather she shows you how she thinks you might do things and hope that it will help you to improve your situation. She leads by example. It is not easy to write a book on this type of topic. The authors recognize this situation and manage to achieve a good balance between general advice and practical usage reports.
The first part of the book is concentrated on the basics of coaching and communicating in software project. The software development curricula are often weak on "people" skills and you are not always lucky to find the right person as a supervisor when you get out of school. The second part goes through the different activities of a typical Agile project (daily meeting, user stories definition, planning, etc.) and discuss how coach can help a project team to achieve its goals. Each chapter has a final checklist and the book is also full of "personal stories" from the authors that enhance the theoretical advice, applying it on real situations.
Although the title of the book and some of its content might make you think that its value is limited to an agile context, I will recommend this book to every person that has some supervision function in software development organizations and to every developer who believe than acquiring additional "people" skill might improve its work environment. Just changing the way you talk with colleagues could lead to having more sunnier days at the office.

Practical, thorough reference for aspiring coaches
6. Oktober 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I echo Yves' statement in that I wish I had this book when I started out coaching teams. The book covers all the bases to get started as a coach.
For coaches like me who have a few years' experience, some sections might seem dry, but overall you will gain insights in many areas. The PrOpER (Problem, Options, Evaluate, Review) model for deciding what to do in a situation is an example of something I learned. Overall, I feel that Agile Coaching helps me go to a deeper level on the practices I am already using, as well as teaching me about technical practices less familiar.
The book is an easy read, organized so you can dive into the topics that matter most to you now and can be used as a quick reference later.
My road to learning how to be a more effective coach involved scouring posts and articles online, discussing in mailing lists and talking to other coaches. Agile Coaching is a one-stop shop, packed with practical advice, examples to work from and stories from the trenches.

Excellent book for helping teams get started with agile software development
1. Oktober 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a rather thin book that is a quick read. I like the cover art that was chosen for this book. Rachel and Liz did a great job of sprinkling little stories throughout the book to provide relevant examples that provided good context for the current topic.
I really enjoyed the first part of the book that focused on working with people, leading change, and building teams. The middle part of the book was a bit basic, but I won't judge harshly because the organization I work at has a fairly mature (6 years, 4 teams) adoption of Extreme Programming, so this part of the book was good review. It would be more valuable for someone who is trying to introduce teams to agile software development for the first time. The last part of the book was very good, it covers topics such as listening to feedback, helping teams reflect, and growing yourself.
I wish this book would have dealt more with 1-on-1 coaching and provided some insights/stories for "player coaches." I'd like to see a more advanced edition of this book for organizations who have a mature agile adoption and are looking to grow their own coaches.
