Aurora Coach and agile coaching
Not a replacement. Coaching is episodic and expensive. Aurora Coach turns improvement into a habit the team sustains itself, continuous and far cheaper. Coaching still makes change land.
| Human coaching | Aurora Coach | |
|---|---|---|
| Best at | Facilitation, hard conversations, a reorg | Self-sustaining continuous improvement, every team, every period |
| Cadence | Episodic | Continuous |
| After it ends | Engagement closes | The practice keeps running |
| Scale | A few teams per coach | No ceiling |
| Cost | High, per engagement | Per user |
| Decides | Guides | Never. The team decides |
Most teams want both. Our advisory couples expert coaching with the product: the human kickstart, then a habit that holds.
Can Aurora Coach replace an agile coach?
No, and it is not meant to. A coaching engagement is episodic. Aurora Coach builds a continuous improvement habit the team sustains itself, every period. Many teams use both, and our advisory couples expert coaching with the product. What Aurora Coach shares with a good coach is the holistic view: the analysis spans six domains of team effectiveness, from team foundations to delivery practice, every period.
Is Aurora Coach cheaper than agile coaching?
Over time, yes. Coaching is priced per engagement at a day rate. Aurora Coach is per user and continuous, so the cost of keeping improvement alive drops sharply as the habit takes hold.
