Summary
Behind every great agile team is self-organized teamwork. Teams that own their own direction together move forward together. They work across functions. They define the path that makes sense. Agile teams build in incremental chunks, and release often.
This is very different from how school teaches us to operate. Students can't master Agile practices in a classroom. Everyone goes through a big mindset change when learning it for the first time. In Tech Fleet, we build a culture of the agile philosophies. Everything we do follows the Agile Manifesto. We teach apprenticeship training teams how to build maturity in agile practices. We want them to showcase their agile skills in the world. Agile coaches are the heart of agile training on any team in the world.
In the Agile Coaching Residency, students train in Agile Coaching through experiential learning. The summer residency cohort will last 12 weeks. There will be 4 weeks of training and 8 weeks of practicing coaching out in the Tech Fleet community. Agile Coach residents train under experts to learn coaching and facilitation skills. They work in pairs to coach Tech Fleet projects. At the end of the training, residents can add it to their resume and build a case study.

Agile Coaching Practice:
During this time, residents join Tech Fleet training projects and agile coach through workshop facilitation. Residents will work together to coordinate which projects and which workshops they want to lead. The schedule for this is based on your own availability and we will coordinate the schedules as time proceeds. Everyone makes their own commitment to lead a workshop, and must make the decision themselves. All residents are encouraged to join the workshops when they happen so that residents can shadow each other.
