Agile Mentoring and Coaching

Scrum Masters & Agile COaches
build Mastery,
One Intentional conversation
at a Time
Real progress is rarely an accident.
- Have you been in situations where you find asking questions like – what do you think? or answering questions with “it depends”?
- Have you seen a Daily Scrum where the developers report to Scrum Master about what did they work on yesterday; what they will work on today; are there any impediments?
- Have you been part of retrospective that runs on the same format every sprint?
If that sounds somewhat like you, then you are at the right place. You are not alone, many practitioners spend months and even years repeating the same work without desired results. They get stuck in routine of job description unaware that JD is just a criteria not the mandate.
Question is – do you know what is needed to acquire the desired competency and stay relevant for your team? That is where a Mentor is needed. I know because I was the same till I found my mentor. This mentorship program is for practitioners who want to grow deliberately.
Mentorship, that matters
Catalyst Circle - An Agile Mastery Mentorship Program
Agile Mastery is not a destination. It is a journey of continuous improvement, it is a practice. Most Scrum Masters and Agile Professionals struggle in the real world because they often consider agile as a toolkit – a set of practices or frameworks. They often overlook the competencies that are needed to be successful in the role. Many of those competencies are just plain personal human traits and values. This program is crafted to bridge the gap between through theory, and practical experience sharing. The program is crafted in a way that it takes the mentee on journey from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence.
