Are you an agile coach facing many issues in your duties?
Agile coaches have been navigating in the middle of many things and their concrete responsibilities have not been always well defined.
This has made them to be in a weak position where it was difficult to get the credit of the work done, but quickly take the blame of the issues.
Agile coaches deal with many intangibles that makes them to be invisible and not too many people in the organization is able to point into the value they provide.
To navigate in waters of nowhere makes the agile coach to be an isolated position that works with everybody but does not belong to any tribe.
The work with intangibles as synchronization, facilitation of work to others, etc.. puts the agile coach in a weak position.
Be the glue guy was not always well paid and that recognition is not always given.
