Coaching Agile Transformations was a great course. It provided a solid foundation for practisers working across all levels of an organisation, with specific tools and preparation for engaging with senior leaders to support agile ways of working at scale. The course provided a range of helpful models for understanding the intent of an organisational change, how agile methods, approaches, metrics and coaching stances can support such change, and how to prepare yourself as an agile delivery professional to support large groups on their journey effectively. As usual, the course, prework beforehand, and support during the training were immersive, creating an environment where practitioners could safely share advice, stories and learn together. - Tom Hoyland
