Requirements

  • Coach and support development teams in adopting Kanban (visualisation of work, WIP limits, flow metrics, policies, and continuous improvement).
  • Facilitate agile ceremonies (daily stand-ups, replenishment meetings, reviews, retrospectives) and adapt them to fit Kanban and team context.
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering leads to design and refine workflows, classes of service, and explicit policies.
  • Introduce and track flow metrics (cycle time, lead time, throughput, WIP, aging work in progress) to drive data-informed decisions.
  • Identify bottlenecks, blockers, and systemic issues; lead experiments to improve flow and delivery predictability.
  • Coach teams on agile principles (empiricism, transparency, collaboration, incremental delivery) beyond any single framework.
  • Support the transition from "ticket pushing" to outcome-focused delivery, helping teams connect their work to business goals.
  • Mentor team members and leaders on agile roles, responsibilities, and ownership (self-organisation, cross-functionality, shared accountability).
  • Facilitate healthy team dynamics, conflict resolution, and psychological safety so teams feel safe to inspect, adapt, and learn.
  • Partner with other Agile Coaches / Engineering Managers to align practices across teams and share learnings., * Solid experience working as an Agile Coach, Scrum Master, or similar servant-leadership role with software development teams.
  • Proven track record leading Kanban adoption in at least one team (designing boards, WIP limits, flow metrics, and policies).
  • Strong knowledge of agile principles and frameworks (Kanban, Scrum, XP) and when to apply which practices.
  • Hands-on experience facilitating workshops, retrospectives, and team health sessions.
  • Strong communication and facilitation skills, able to work with engineers, product, and leadership.
  • Experience working with agile tooling (e.g., Jira, Azure Boards, Trello, Linear) to visualise flow and metrics.

Recommended Skills

  • Experience coaching multiple teams in parallel (multi-team or tribe-level context).
  • Background in software development, QA, or product management, understanding the end-to-end delivery lifecycle.
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices (CI/CD, trunk-based development, feature flags) and how they support flow.
  • Experience with metrics and analytics (dashboards for cycle time, throughput, WIP aging, blockers).
  • Knowledge of change management and organisational design in agile transformations.
  • Experience combining Kanban with Scrum ("Scrumban") where needed., * Experience in distributed or remote-first teams.
  • Experience in high-compliance or security-focused environments.
  • Previous work introducing test automation, TDD, or CI/CD as part of process improvements.
  • Experience mentoring or coaching new Scrum Masters / Agile practitioners.
  • Certification(s) such as KMP, KCP, PSM, CSM, ICP-ACC (or equivalent practical experience).

Onboarding Plan - Your First 90 Days

  • First 30 Days:
  • Understand current ways of working, tools, and delivery constraints for each of the four teams.
  • Map existing workflows and visualise them on simple Kanban boards, without forcing big-bang changes.
  • Build relationships with team members, Product Managers, and Engineering Managers; clarify goals and expectations.
  • Run initial workshops on Kanban basics, flow, and WIP for each team.
  • Days 31-60:
  • Introduce or refine explicit policies, WIP limits, and basic flow metrics (cycle time, throughput).
  • Facilitate regular retrospectives focused on bottlenecks, context switching, and blockers; agree on concrete improvement experiments.
  • Align ceremonies across teams where useful (e.g., shared review or communities of practice).
  • Help teams start using metrics dashboards to guide planning and prioritisation.
  • Days 61-90:
  • Help teams stabilise their Kanban systems, refine classes of service, and improve predictability.
  • Lead deeper continuous improvement cycles (service level expectations, demand vs. capacity, aging WIP management).
  • Support teams in owning their process, reducing reliance on you for day-to-day facilitation.
  • Document practices, playbooks, and lessons learned to scale the approach across more teams.
