论文摘要
引入敏捷教练以帮助提高敏捷公司的速度和优势是越来越普遍的。在Spotify的成功之后，敏捷教练的作用在任务和责任方面已经分支了，但是很少进行研究以研究如何实践这种角色。本文通过对十个不同公司的敏捷教练进行了19次半结构化访谈，研究了敏捷教练的作用。我们描述了教练在敏捷项目，有价值的特质，技能，工具和敏捷教练推动者中所承担的任务方面的作用。我们的发现表明，敏捷教练在团队和组织级别上表现。它们会影响敏捷团队的努力，策略，知识和技能。敏捷教练的最重要的特征是强调，以人为导向，能够倾听，外交和持久性。我们建议基于经验的敏捷教练的建议，例如，公司赋予其敏捷教练的权力，以实施团队内部和外部所需的组织变更。
It is increasingly common to introduce agile coaches to help gain speed and advantage in agile companies. Following the success of Spotify, the role of the agile coach has branched out in terms of tasks and responsibilities, but little research has been conducted to examine how this role is practiced. This paper examines the role of the agile coach through 19 semistructured interviews with agile coaches from ten different companies. We describe the role in terms of the tasks the coach has in agile projects, valuable traits, skills, tools, and the enablers of agile coaching. Our findings indicate that agile coaches perform at the team and organizational levels. They affect effort, strategies, knowledge, and skills of the agile teams. The most essential traits of an agile coach are being emphatic, people-oriented, able to listen, diplomatic, and persistent. We suggest empirically based advice for agile coaching, for example companies giving their agile coaches the authority to implement the required organizational changes within and outside the teams.
