The average years of coaching experience for our coaches is 18. To be an Enterprise Coach for Agile Velocity, we look for 10 years coaching at the enterprise strategy and leadership level as the minimum.
Many of our coaches have specialties across Agile frameworks, functional areas, and organizational levels. Some of these specializations include Lean-Agile portfolio management, product development, scaling and systems thinking, technical practices, and leadership.
The matching process begins during sales as we are discovering unique environmental and operational conditions and the challenges and opportunities for the engagement. Coaches are also a big part of the sales process so our potential clients have the opportunity to meet various members of the coaching team from the beginning. As we near the end of the sales process, we will be actively communicating with the client to finalize the team so kickoff is effective and on time.
Despite having the right skill sets and experience, we understand that sometimes the coach is just not a fit. In this instance, we have a team of coaches who will be ready to jump in so that the engagement does not lose momentum.
Each engagement will also include a Client Success manager who acts as the bridge between our coaching team and the client. Because of their advocacy, we should know beforehand if the coach is not a fit and can be proactive in finding a better match.
Many of our engagements support many teams, areas, or Agile Release Trains at once. As such, we are equipped to support by placing multiple coaches at once.
Our average turnaround time for successful engagements is 2 weeks.

“I don’t think we could have done the transformation without Agile Velocity's coaching and training. Change is hard. [In a transformation,]... people are really excited about the change at first, and then the realities of change start to set in and then people want to gravitate back to the old ways of doing things.”
