This document provides guidance for lean-agile coaches to assess their skills, plan improvement, and track progress over time. It includes self-assessment radars to rate basic skills, traits, and undesired traits on a scale of 0 to 5. Coaches are instructed to fill out the radars using simplified descriptions, identify an area for improvement, and collect feedback periodically to measure progress. The use of radars and mentoring conversations draws from ThoughtWorks, while skills and traits are inspired by frameworks from Michael K. Spayd, Lyssa Adkins, and Esther Derby.
