I shared my experiences about facilitating a workshop as an Agile Coach on the last event of 2019 Agile Talks -a monthly meetup organized by Agile Turkey. First I published this post in my native language. But, since these old “normal” days lots of stuff has changed.

Now, you can read my combined offline and online experiences into four parts which are called “How my journey has begun?”, “What am I doing pre-workshop”, “What am I doing during the workshop” and “What am I doing pre-workshop”, “What am I doing post-workshop”… Hope you enjoy ;)

How my journey has begun?

Personal Story Mapping

I was a developer for about 10 years. I experienced becoming a Scrum Master for 2+years when I was working at Dogus Media Company as a developer. I worked as an Agile Coach for 2 years at Yemeksepeti. Now I work at Delivery Hero since October 2020.

What Agile Coach does?

Agile Coaching appeared in the last decade and it’s gradually becoming widespread. So its definition and responsibilities changing from company to company. Let me explain what I was doing Yemeksepeti.
