Content

You don’t need to be a full-time technical coach to make a difference in your organization. This course will help you to get started with learning hours and ensemble working. These are not vacuous “icebreaker”-style fun and games, the focus is on real hard technical skills, especially around TDD, refactoring, handling legacy code and better OO design. Real technical coaching is about leading team activities that strengthen your collaboration and ability to discuss code and make better design decisions.

This session is designed for team leads and senior developers who take an active part in developing software, who also have an interest in mentoring and coaching the people around them. No previous experience of coaching is needed, but if you are already a technical coach you should find plenty of new ideas and inspiration in this training.

After the training, participants should be able to:

• Lead a short ‘learning hour’ training / team building session
• Adapt materials and activities for the needs of participants
• Understand the purpose and benefits of technical coaching more widely

Outline

• Technical coaching, what it is and how you could benefit from it without going full-time
• How to lead “learning hour” training / team building sessions
• Creating a safe, engaging coding environment with your team
• More engaging and useful sessions with Training from the Back of the Room
• Using learning goals to make training more relevant
• Adapting materials and activities for the needs of your team
• Facilitation skills for interactive learning activities

Much of the time will be spent in hands-on exercises. You will come away with the knowledge and materials you need to get started with coaching activities with your team.

Practicalities

We will also use an online miro board during the workshop. We may also have exercises in straightforward Java or C# although the focus is on the skills and collaboration and session structure. We will provide a suitable online coding environment so you only need to use a modern browser to take part, but it means you will need to bring a computer.
