Guess what good agile coaches or scrum masters are expected to do :-)
Very little of that. Agile coaches don’t deal with under performers, promo packets, retention issues, etc.
Agile coaches are also not able to shield the team from dumb shit. They don’t have the power to make priority calls on what the team is doing.
