As an agile coach I am often faced with a “business value” dilemma when asked to help a new team adopt agile. They want the benefits of agile but have little understanding of what is required to be successful.

Before I commit to getting involved I run a facilitated workshop based on a set of experiential questions and multi choice answers to stimulate discussion amongst the group and highlight the agile roadblocks they face on their specific project.

Articulating their roadblocks helps decide whether the agile journey is worth starting and how an agile coach might add “business value”.
