Agile Coach 

Job description
With today’s convergence of data and technology come transformation and opportunity – not only in industry, but also in the workplace. New roles are being created that never existed before to meet the demands of this transformation. At IBM, we’re looking for candidates to fill a wide variety of positions for this new era in our BT/IT Organisation.

We are seeking an experienced Agile Team Coach who will drive Agile principles and practices into the IBM organization. This role works with teams who want to implement and improve Agile practices specific to software development, as well as drive overall Agile culture change.

Agile coaches work closely with teams and team members (e.g., Scrum Masters) to develop and perform activities allowing the development of Agile skills and improvement of development processes. The role of the team coach is to share their experience and observations with all team members and to make sure that the best practices are being used. The objective of the team coach is to help teams develop their Agile skills in order to rapidly become self-sufficient and benefit from Agile approaches. More specifically, the team coach supports the start-up of teams/projects, gives advice to improve the application of Scrum throughout projects, and spreads the best practices. This coach promotes and facilitates in a cohesive manner the adoption of Agility within teams and by organizations.

Agile coaches bring their knowledge of Agility. They work with other coaches who have the same challenges and who seek gaining experience in order to better coach teams. Agile coaches are passionate about communication, group dynamics and coaching and are not afraid to raise issues and drive change to remove impediments to adoption. An Agile Coach should have an insatiable appetite for learning new things and improving existing ones.

Tasks and Responsibilities:
Define the Agile approach, principles and practices

Coach Scrum Masters to help them familiarize with their role
Remain at the leading-edge of Agile development practices and contribute to their spreading across the organization
