The book centers on the art of team coaching specifically for Scrum Masters or Agile
practitioners leading teams. This topic remains largely unexamined by the literature as there
is a lack of contemporary guidance about coaching Agile teams on acquiring qualities paramount
for an adaptive organization - being self-organized and assuming ownership over their ways of
working and its results. An Agile practitioner has to either study books on professional
coaching that don't provide much information on working in the Agile context or try to
implement Agile methodologies and frameworks with fragmented and limited guidance on dealing
with teams and group dynamics. By integrating coaching principles with the realities of an
Agile environment this book provides enough information and relevant case studies to equip a
reader with the skills needed to organize coaching confidently deal with emerging dynamics
and achieve the intended goals. It also connects Agile team coaching with the ICF
(International Coaching Federation) Team Coaching competencies professionalizing the practice.
