The Lean-Agile Coach role supports individuals, teams, and an organization through the process of achieving a professional result. This role differs from consulting, mentoring, and training. It involves more questioning and facilitating than doing particular tasks for the client. It is more focused on process, discovery, transition, leadership, and mindset than it is on particular projects. The goal is to help the clients to develop new mindsets to do Lean-Agile, to acquire a new set of tools, and to make adjustments to processes and structures.
