Is DevOps Coach different from Agile Coach?

I’m often asked this question in my Certified DevOps Coach Masterclass.
Of Course, there are many similarities and some differences as well.
Here is my take on this from my experience with different DevOps Transformation.
DevOps Culture has its roots in Lean Ideology, Organizational Change Management and Continuous Process Improvement. Hence, the competencies that we look for in a DevOps Coach include Professional Coaching, Lean Coaching (including the concept of Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata) and Organizational and Systems Coaching.
The Continuous Process Improvement part makes DevOps Coaching different from Agile Coaching. Agile is all about Empiricism, where we Inspect and Adapt at every moment and understand the things in Retrospect.
While agile mindset is important for DevOps Coaches, they also help the organization to develop robust and resilient processes for their Continuous Delivery Pipeline. Since, the processes involving build, test, integrate and deploy are all repetitive processes, our learnings from Lean and Toyota Kata fit in beautifully in achieving DevOps Culture.
It’s a journey to develop your organization towards becoming Learning & Antifragile Organization.
Another important concept for DevOps Coaching is Empathy Coaching. Surely, Agile Coaches help their team members to empathize with each other. However, DevOps Coaches go a step further and empathize with teams which might be working on something we don’t even understand or maybe other departments.
In our Certified DevOps Coach Masterclass, we blend the above-mentioned competencies to provide you with a lot more learning and exposure than what you already have with Agile Coaching.
