Coaching Agile Teams: A Companion for Scrummasters, Agile Coaches, and Project Managers in Transition

Adkins, who has taught Scrum, coached agile teams, and served as a master coach to apprentice coaches, offers a guide to coaching agile teams for project managers, coaches, leaders, and others. She details aspects of success of an agile coach, the importance of expecting high performance and understanding oneself, leadership styles, various roles of the agile coach (coach-mentor, facilitator, teacher, problem solver, etc.), what works and doesn't, and different skills. She does not cover the basics of agile practices. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
