Common Questions About Agile Coaching in Europe (FAQ)

Q: How long does agile transformation typically take in German/Italian companies?

A: Initial results appear within 3-4 months, with significant transformation typically occurring over 8-15 months. In European contexts, we prefer thorough, sustainable approaches over quick superficial changes that respect cultural values and regulatory requirements.

Q: How does agile coaching differ from Scrum training in European contexts?

A: Training provides knowledge and skills, while coaching helps apply those skills in your specific cultural and regulatory context. Coaching addresses real challenges, organisational dynamics, and sustainable change that goes beyond what training alone can achieve, especially in compliance-heavy European environments.

Q: Can agility work in heavily regulated European industries?

A: Absolutely! We’ve successfully coached agile adoption in banking, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and public sector. Agile principles of iterative delivery, customer focus, and continuous improvement can be reconciled with compliance requirements through proper implementation.

Q: How do you measure coaching success in European contexts?

A: We establish clear metrics at the beginning, typically including:

• Delivery cycle time reduction while maintaining quality
• Compliance-conformant quality improvement indicators
• Team health/satisfaction scores with work-life balance
• Long-term business value metrics
• Stakeholder satisfaction in multicultural environments
• Regulatory compliance improvement measures

Q: What if we’ve tried agile approaches before and failed?

A: Previous difficulties often result from incomplete implementation or lack of organisational support that ignored cultural aspects. Our coaching addresses root causes, not just symptoms, ensuring sustainable success while considering European business cultures and regulatory environments.

Q: Do you work with specific frameworks like SAFe or LeSS in regulated environments?

A: Yes, we’re experienced with multiple scaling frameworks but always customise the approach to your context. We’re LeSS-friendly trainers and SAFe certified, but prioritize what works for you while considering compliance requirements and cultural factors.
