Agile Coach: A Future Career or an Endangered Species?
summary
Rachel Dubois examines how AI can already automate the work of an average agile coach and argues that this should prompt coaches to stop running empty rituals and instead focus on human strengths AI can’t replicate. She outlines concrete examples and future scenarios, and recommends shifting from ceremony facilitation to transformational leadership by cultivating connection, intuition, systemic courage, and the ability to confront constructively so coaches become irreplaceably human.
