Exploring the Impact of Agile Coaches with Mike Lyons from Kairise

The Agile Within

Promise a fresh take on Agile training in our latest podcast episode. Join us as we engage with Mike Lyons from Kairise, a company that's transforming the traditional Agile training landscape with their self-paced, cost-effective solutions. Discover how you can gain a firm grasp of Agile methodologies without the usual time and financial constraints of a two-day introductory course.
Agile coaches are the unsung heroes of the tech industry, and in our discussion with Mike, we challenge the notion of these coaches as mere overhead costs. Listen to Mike as he passionately argues their significant contribution to top line revenues and bottom-line reduction. Prepare to have your perspective shifted as we also evaluate how intelligent automation might be harnessed to achieve similar outcomes.
In the final part of our discussion, we dissect the roles and responsibilities of an Agile Coach. We underline the importance of delivering superior quality products in less time and the necessity of understanding the business side of things. Learn how to effectively "speak the language of money" with Mike as we also highlight the advantages of asynchronous training and other resources for aspiring Agile coaches. This episode is a goldmine of insights into the world of Agile, its practice, and its impact, so plug in those earphones and tune in now!
