Agile one-on-one coaching is Agile coaching with individuals rather than with groups and organisations. There's a bigger emphasis on the coaching and mentoring part when it comes to one-on-one coaching. Here are a few examples of people who seek Agile one-on-one coaching:

  • a developer, who seeks to become an Agile coach on her own
  • an Agile consultant, who seeks guidance with challenges he faces with certain clients
  • an Agile consultant, who seeks a sparring partner regarding ideas for his own organisation
  • an Iteration Manager, who seeks to find ways to personally improve herself
  • a middle manager, who seeks ways to improve his relationship with her employees
  • a CTO, who seeks to become better in organising his department
