Oath for an Agile Coach

Welcome to the Agile Coaches’ Oath.  You’ll find an oath for an Agile coach modeled after the Hippocratic Oath, as well as a place to sign and comment. Enjoy!

As your Agile coach, I pledge that

I am driven by your goals. Your success is my success.

I am your guest. I will only offer my coaching services by invitation.

I share knowledge. I will gladly share my knowledge for those who are to follow me.

I respect learnings. I will respect the prior learnings of those who came before me, as well as the learnings that will come after me.

I don’t know everything. I will not be ashamed to say “I have no idea”, and I will offer “let me find out more or find someone else to help you.”

I offer compassion. I will enter environments, vow to heal them where I may, and offer compassion where it is the most needed.

I seek a balance between hand-holding and letting go. I will apply all measures which are required to help those in need, avoiding the double traps of over-nurturing and giving up.

I value discretion. I will respect the privacy of the organizations that I help, the teams, and the individuals on the teams.

I help people. I do not help a burndown chart improve, or the team velocity spike. Instead, I help a suffering team and/or organization whose current state may affect a person’s family and economic stability.

I prevent dysfunction. I seek out root causes wherever possible.

I serve others. I am a Servant Leader. My obligations are to serve individuals, teams, organizations, and the community.

Shall I not violate this oath, may I long experience the joy of coaching those who seek my help.

Signed. As a member of ICF I have signed already highest ethical standards and the oath here adds value to it. If you want it, here is my German translation: "Als Ihr Agile-Coach verspreche ich: Ich werde von Ihren Zielen angetrieben. Ihr Erfolg ist mein Erfolg. Ich bin Ihr Gast. Ich biete meine Coaching-Leistungen nur auf Nachfrage an. Ich teile mein Wissen. Ich teile gerne mein Wissen für diejenigen, die mir folgen sollen. Ich respektiere Gelerntes. Ich werde das bisherige Lernen derer, die vor mir kamen, respektieren, ebenso wie das Lernen, das nach mir kommen wird. Ich weiß nicht alles. Ich werde mich nicht schämen zu sagen: "Ich habe keine Ahnung", und ich werde anbieten: "Lass mich mehr herausfinden oder finde jemand anderen, der dir hilft." Ich biete Mitgefühl an. Ich werde mich in Umgebungen begeben, geloben, sie zu heilen, wo ich kann, und Mitgefühl anbieten, wo es am meisten gebraucht wird. Ich suche ein Gleichgewicht zwischen an die Hand nehmen und loslassen. Ich werde alle Maßnahmen anwenden, die erforderlich sind, um denen zu helfen, die in Not sind, und dabei die Doppelfalle von Überfürsorge und Aufgeben vermeiden. Ich lege Wert auf Diskretion. Ich werde die Privatsphäre der Organisationen, denen ich helfe, der Teams und der Personen in den Teams respektieren. Ich helfe Menschen. Ich helfe nicht, ein Burndown-Chart zu verbessern oder die Team-Velocity in die Höhe zu treiben. Stattdessen helfe ich einem leidenden Team und/oder einer Organisation, deren aktueller Zustand die Familie und die wirtschaftliche Stabilität einer Person beeinträchtigen kann. Ich verhindere Dysfunktion. Ich suche, wo immer möglich, nach den Ursachen. Ich diene anderen. Ich bin ein Servant Leader. Meine Verpflichtung ist es, Einzelpersonen, Teams, Organisationen und der Gemeinschaft zu dienen. Möge ich diesen Eid nicht verletzen, möge ich lange die Freude erleben, diejenigen zu coachen, die meine Hilfe suchen. "

Congratulations! If you don't mind, I will publish it in my website in Spanish: COMO SU AGILE COACH, PROMETO QUE - Me impulsan tus objetivos. Tu éxito es mi éxito. - Soy tu invitado. Sólo ofreceré mis servicios de coaching si soy invitado a ello. - Comparto el conocimiento. Con gusto compartiré mi conocimiento para aquellos que me sigan. - Respeto el aprendizaje. Respetaré los aprendizajes previos de aquellos que vinieron antes que yo, así como los aprendizajes que vendrán después de mí. - No lo sé todo. No me avergonzaré de decir "no tengo ni idea", y ofreceré "déjame averiguar más o encontrar a alguien más para ayudarte". - Ofrezco compasión. Entraré en los sitios, juraré curarlos donde pueda, y ofreceré compasión donde sea más necesario. - Busco un equilibrio entre agarrar y soltar. Aplicaré todas las medidas necesarias para ayudar a los necesitados, evitando las dobles trampas de sobrealimentación y abandono. - Valoro la discreción. Respetaré la privacidad de las organizaciones a las que ayudo, los equipos y los individuos de los equipos. - Ayudo a la gente. No ayudo a mejorar un gráfico de trabajo pendiente o el pico de velocidad del equipo. En cambio, ayudo a un equipo u organización que sufre y cuyo estado actual puede afectar a la familia y a la estabilidad económica de una persona. - Prevengo la disfunción. Siempre que sea posible, busco las causas de raíz. - Sirvo a los demás. Soy un líder servicial. Mis obligaciones son servir a los individuos, equipos, organizaciones y a la comunidad. - Si no violo este juramento, puedo experimentar por mucho tiempo la alegría de ser coach de aquellos que buscan mi ayuda.

Even if you may not like what I say or do, I will still do whatever it takes to improve my coachee / team. I will not show off my knowledge. I may at times be silent even if I know the solution, if that is required for my team to improve. There are more, but these two are important in my view.

I am all in 100 %. I like that - "I am a servant leader" statement is written on this list because without it, I feel that other statements will easily be watered down to fit any scenario that will defeat the purpose of this oath. Overall, I think this is a great artifact to always come back to within the Agile community.

An excellent effort, and I'll be delighted to join the pledge. I suggeest it might be improved slightly by reminding ourselves "why" we coach in the first place. It's not just about the team. It's actually about the impact that the team has on its customers and their world. Put succintly, it's about delight for customers and joy in work. In keeping with the style of the Oath, perhaps something like: "I believe in starting with why: customer delight and joyful work matter most."

About

The idea of having an “Oath for an Agile Coach” modeled after the Hippocratic oath comes from the idea that as a coach, our first mantra should be to “do no harm”. Contributors are numerous, if you’d like to contribute please share your thoughts.
