AI for Agile Coaches: Coach Better, Facilitate Smarter, Do Less Admin
This is not a generic “AI for everyone” session.
This virtual class is designed specifically for agile coaches who want to use AI as a thinking partner—to design better coaching conversations, explore stronger interventions, and reduce the admin work that gets in the way of real coaching.
Think: less time summarizing, drafting, and formatting—more time observing teams, asking better questions, and intervening thoughtfully.
What we’ll cover
1️⃣ Foundations (brief)
A fast, practical orientation to today’s AI tools—without hype.
What tools like Claude and Copilot do well (and where they fail)
Common pitfalls for coaches:
hallucinations & false confidence
over-reliance
confidentiality & trust concerns
