Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the team coaching process typically last?

The duration of team coaching varies based on team needs and goals. Typically, we start with a 3-6 month engagement to establish foundational changes. Many clients then opt for ongoing support to sustain and build upon improvements. We tailor the timeline to your specific situation and desired outcomes.

Can you work with remote or distributed teams?

Absolutely. I have extensive experience coaching both co-located and distributed teams. We use various digital collaboration tools and adapt our coaching methods to ensure effective engagement and results, regardless of your team’s physical location.

What if we’re already using agile methodologies?

That’s great! We start by assessing your current practices and identifying areas for optimization. Our coaching can help refine your agile implementation, address any challenges you’re facing, and take your team’s performance to the next level. We focus on practical improvements within your existing framework.

How do you measure the success of team coaching?

We establish clear, measurable goals at the outset of the coaching engagement. These often include metrics like team velocity, product quality indicators, time-to-market, team satisfaction scores, and specific business KPIs. We conduct regular assessments to track progress and adjust our approach as needed.

Will this disrupt our ongoing projects?

Our coaching is designed to integrate seamlessly with your ongoing work. We focus on practical, immediately applicable improvements that enhance your current projects rather than disrupt them. Many teams find that our coaching actually accelerates their project delivery by improving efficiency and collaboration.
