Online Course – Slides file From – Seattle Scrum Gathering
Presented by: Mountain Goat Software (REP # 3102)

One of the challenges of agile is coming to grips with the role of leaders and managers of self-organizing teams. Many go to the extreme of refusing to exert any influence on their teams at all. Others retain too much of a command-and-control style.

Leading a self-organizing team can be a fine line.

In this session you will learn the proper ways to influence the path taken by a team to solving the problems given to it. You will learn how to become comfortable in this role. You’ll understand why influencing a self-organizing team is neither sneaky nor inappropriate but is necessary.

Presenter: Mike Cohn (LinkedIn profile) is the founder of Mountain Goat Software, where he teaches and coaches on Scrum and agile development. He is the author of Succeeding with Agile: Software Development Using Scrum, also Agile Estimating and Planning, and User Stories Applied: For Agile Software Development. With more than 25 years of experience, Mike is a frequent magazine contributor and conference speaker, Mike is a founding member of the Scrum Alliance and the Agile Alliance.

Tired of the command and control style of management?

So, stop managing and start coaching! Coaching is the ability to bring out the best in people.

It is the ability to work with a diverse set of team members to help them be creative, empowered and motivated. Coaching is not “command and control”, it is not acting as the benevolent dictator (haven’t we all worked for someone like that?).

Rather, it is the art of asking powerful questions and using powerful language so that the person being coached will come up with answers for him or herself.

The focus is on helping your team members to be resourceful and accountable while getting the job done. Join us for an engaging and interactive presentation.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Discover the difference between traditional management and coaching
• Find out how and why coaching works
• Learn how to develop powerful questions and how to hold people accountable
• Building rapport, a key to developing strong relationships
• Tips on how to develop a group into a team

Presenter:  John Kaman PMP, is a management coach, mentor and educator.  John has 22 years of experience in Research and Development Management with both 3M Company and Imation Corp and is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Minnesota.
