Coaches agile roles and leadership across multiple value streams, embedding agile delivery practices based on the Beneva Value Creation System and SAFe. The role facilitates train-level coordination, develops people and teams, uses flow metrics and data to drive continuous improvement, supports CI/CD practices, and contributes to Agile Center of Excellence services. It requires software development experience and expertise in Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Lean, DevOps, and collaboration tools.
Overview:
- The client is looking for a senior agile coach, attached to
the Agile Center of Excellence, to embed an agile delivery culture across
multiple value streams.
- The mandate relies on the Beneva Value Creation System
(BVCS), inspired by SAFe, which puts the train-level experience at the heart of
the qualification.
- The role combines three aspects: coaching people and teams
(PO, SM, RTE, managers), measuring and improving flow through data, and
contributing to the CoE's service offerings.
- The requirement for IT development experience, combined with
support for CI/CD practices, sets this mandate apart from coach positions
focused solely on team practices.
- The list of interpersonal skills is extensive and mainly
validated in interviews, but several elements can still be observed on the
resume: train-level facilitation, influencing leadership without hierarchical
authority, 'data-informed' mindset.
- Looking for a candidate: an agile coach with at least 3
years in this role out of 8 years of experience, who has supported one or more
SAFe trains in a large organization, with a background in software development.
Their resume shows coaching of roles (PO, SM, RTE, managers) and flow metrics
used to drive continuous improvement, not just facilitating ceremonies.
Requirements
Required:
- Software development experience
- Mastery of Agile delivery modes (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Lean,
DevOps)
- In-depth knowledge of agile methodologies and frameworks
(Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, etc.)
- Mastery of Jira, Confluence, SharePoint
- Interpersonal skills (psychological safety, emotional
intelligence, communication, influence leadership, systemic reading,
train-level facilitation, data-informed posture, autonomy building, critical
thinking, innovation)
Asset:
- SAFe SPC certification
- Lean certification (green belt or higher)
- Knowledge of change management approaches
