Pros

Thought to be adding value, but everything falls on deaf ears. One star for the Coaches and a few SM/POs that actually give a crap. If you are a “Yes” man/woman, to management you will be fine, but if you challenge authority, trying to achieve better outcomes and improving team performance, by adding intrinsic value, you will become the outsider, fighting against evil to save your job.

Cons

Anything I did was perceived as just tasks without value add. No Management or HR support to actually solve problems. Most everyone focuses on themselves vs. the team. They will never get to Agile Mindset since they are focused on process, framework and functionality only within specific Ops Model. Agile Coach is perceived as dirty floor mat to wipe feet on, while most teams continue to follow bad practices and don’t care.
