Agile Coach Camp (ACC) Support Initiative

About this Initiative

The purpose of this Initiative is to help continuously improve the skills of Agile Coaches so that they are well-equipped to help organizations and their teams effectively apply Agile values and principles in their work. Direct Support from Agile Alliance fosters greater awareness and transparency worldwide among those in this vital role.

Main Activities

  • Offer marketing assistance to ensure coaches are aware of regional Agile Coach Camps in their area
  • Help ACC organizers connect with the Open Space facilitators needed for events, particularly if using Open Space as the format.
  • Provide historical information and contact details for current/prior organizers to new Camp organizers to promote knowledge sharing
  • Create a focal point for the Agile Coaching community so that they know where and how to improve their skills on an ongoing basis
  • Provide financial support in the form of sponsorship based on current financials of the Agile Alliance; requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by members of the Agile Coach Camp (ACC) Support Initiative.

Possible Future Activities

  • Provide an account that links ACC ticket sales and sponsorships to streamline financial management and execution
  • Provide a space where artifacts of proceedings and retrospectives can be captured and/or linked so that discussions, decisions, and recommendations are visible and transparent to coaches and non-coaches alike
  • Assist with non-coach outreach to foster their participation in areas such as psychology, organizational development, and communication
  • Offer an infrastructure through which coaches can communicate and support one another between camps
  • Educate would-be coaches about the various paths they can take to become Agile coaches themselves
  • Present a Coach Camp before or after each Agile20xx conference

Agile Coach Camp Volunteer

Thanks for showing interest in the Agile Coach Camp Initiative. We’re always in need of help, and that help comes in the form of deciding how to get help with new ACC requests. To see if you are the right fit for helping us do that, please answer the following questions

  • Describe your experiences and what you liked and didn’t like about them.
  • This initiative expects a Camp to be invitational, in that it creates a climate that is attractive invitation for people to be welcome, participative in nature, and with an emergent agenda. You will be assessing Camp proposals against this criteria. What does that mean to you?
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
