Additional Learning Resources + Appendices

Infographics

The following infographics were created by Josie Luliano who was inspired to create them after reading the book. I fell in love with her work and wanted to share it more broadly…

Resources

  1. Cherie Silas and her colleagues at Tandem Coaching Academy have published a Best Agile Articles e-book for the past few years. It serves as a compendium of many contributors and contains rich and deep knowledge from in-the-trenches. Here is a link to the 2017 - 2020 e-books.

  2. Here’s a link to my Agile Reflections e-books for Agile Leaders, Product Owners, and Agile Coaches. The latter should serve as a nice addition to your reading the EBAC book and you’ll certainly see some of the backstories in the articles.

  3. I could have put more emphasis in the book exploring the difference between being an internal coach (employee) and an external coach (contractor, consultant). This is a core situation that can influence all aspects of your badass coaching. This article explores it in more detail and all coaches might find it useful.

  4. I contributed to a book entitled Agile Coaching - Wisdom from Practitioners in 2017 that was published as a free resource. It contains a wealth of information from a wonderful group of agile coaches. Here’s a PDF copy that you can explore.

Appendices

In this section I’ll continue to include topics, areas, and thoughts that were, are, or might be…Appendix Worthy. You’ll want to check back here frequently to see what might have been added.

AND, if you have ideas for new appendices, please share them…

  1. This is a Wheel competency-aligned appendix that contains learning resources for augmenting your journey to badassery. I developed it in conjunction with our Comparative Agility efforts and used it to provide some of the learning and growth resources. That being said, it’s much more thorough than those we provided.

  2. When Mark and I were working on his Wheel-related chapters, we decided to pull out some history behind its development. We simply didn’t have the room for it. If you’re interested in the “origin story” of the Wheel, then this appendix might be worth reading.

  3. I originally wanted to include a chapter in the book about how to select/find/hire a Badass Agile Coach. Unfortunately, it didn’t make the cut, but I do believe it’s a valuable topic to explore. This appendix does just that.
