If you\u2019ve been working as a coach or a consultant for any length of time you have run into situations where you have to make a decision about what the \u201cright\u201d thing to do actually is. Sometimes, it is pretty obvious, sometimes, not so much. Some professional organizations have established standards that credentialed professionals promise to adhere to. The International Coaching Federation has the ICF Code of Ethics (https://coachingfederation.org/ethics/code-of-ethics), the Project Management Institute has a Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (https://www.pmi.org/about/ethics/code). In January of 2020 the Agile Alliance launched the Agile Coaching Ethics Initiative. In January of 2021, they launched a draft of their Code of Ethical Conduct for Agile Coaching along with a set of scenarios to help clarify what is, and is not an appropriate response in a variety of complicated situations. \n\nIn this interview Agile Coaching Ethics Initiative Co-Chair, Shane Hastie joins me to talk about how the initiative came to be, how the code and the scenarios work, and how they hope Agile coaches and practitioners will begin to use it. They are also looking for feedback on the draft and scenarios, so if you\u2019ve got time to check them out, feedback would be greatly appreciated. \n\nYou can find the Agile Coaching Ethics Initiative here:\nhttps://www.agilealliance.org/resources/initiatives/agile-coaching-ethics/\n\nYou can share your feedback or scenarios here:\nAgileCoachingEthics@agilealliance.org\n\nYou can reach Shane Hastie here:\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanehastie/\nInfoQ: https://www.infoq.com/profile/Shane-Hastie/\nICAgile: https://www.icagile.com\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/shanehastie\nEmail: snhastie@gmail.com\n\nCulture & Methods Trends Report March 2021\nIf you'd like to check out the InfoQ Culture & Methods Trends Report March 2021 to read more about the difference between good remote work and bad remote work:\nhttps://www.infoq.com/articles/culture-trends-2021/\n\nAgile Sustainability Conference\nShane is also giving a presentation on the Agile Coaching Ethics Initiative during the Agile Sustainability Conference which is being held virtually (hosted) in Singapore.
