The Agile coach’s dilemma: 16 years of knowledge
→ But where is it when you need it?
I recently had the pleasure of designing and running an Agile 101 cohort. Thanks to Blinkist for having me a the course facilitator.
Drawing on my extensive experience as an Agile Coach since 2008 —spanning 16 years across five different companies and dozens of teams, including leadership roles —
I faced a familiar challenge to convert my experiences into a cohesive course.
It took my ages to find various artefacts.
My materials were scattered everywhere: on Google Drive, my computer, paper notes, and even just in my head.
But this time, things were different.
When designing my session on Agile Teams, I turned to my Map of Contents about Teams: → I found many insightful resources → already connected and distilled → enriched with my thoughts
This is knowledge I’ve gathered over many years—my knowledge—accessible in minutes.
Compare that to searching through several books, courses, memory, or ten different paper notebooks.
With my knowledge captured, organized, and distilled, I could focus on designing a great course.
I was able to focus on designing a great course.
And the results speak for themselves: → Participants loved it, with a 91% rating across two cohorts. → Creating the sessions was a joy. → I felt confident running it.
This is the power of personal knowledge management.
I achieve this by following the Second Brain approach from Tiago Forte, combined with Notemaking Mastery elements from Nick Milo, building on the wisdom of experts I admire.
Can you recall a moment when having your knowledge at hand immediately would have been beneficial?
