The Context
What is Agile Data Coaching?
Agile Data Coaching is performance coaching for data and analytics teams. Shane works alongside your team, coaches them through proven Agile Data patterns, and builds the muscle memory that lets them keep delivering after he's gone.
This is coaching, not delivery. Shane works himself out of a job. The goal is your team's independence.
Every engagement runs under a public Code of Ethics. Do no harm, leave a better way of working. Read it before we talk.
We teach your team to do the data work. No team, or no time? AgileData.io will do the work for you.
The problem
Why is your data team stuck?
Most data teams aren't failing because of talent or effort. They're failing because the system around them makes it hard to succeed. Too many tools, too many priorities, too many disparate or ad-hoc ways of working.
That's the disappointment cycle.
Overpromise. Underdeliver. Fight fires. Repeat.
I haven't seen every team problem, but I have seen a lot of them.
Your team is drowning in requests
Every day feels reactive. No time for planning. No space to iterate and improve.
You're reinventing the wheel
Each team member models, transforms, and delivers data differently.
Nobody knows what done looks like
Projects drag on. Definitions shift. Rework is constant.
Your best people are burnt out, and leaving
Your team is stuck between rising expectations, archaic methodologies and complex practices.
Your delivery process is held together with hope
Slow delivery, broken pipelines, fragile dashboards, constant last-minute fixes.
You've got all the latest tools, but no throughput
You've invested in modern data stacks, but delivery still lags. The tooling changed, but the bottlenecks didn't.
Your team has no time to upskill
Everyone's too busy doing the work to learn better ways to do the work.
Stakeholders don't trust the data
They question every number. Nobody knows where the truth lives.
You're agile in name, not in practice
You're “doing sprints” but still shipping slowly, without confidence or consistency.
Adding more contractors doesn't fix it. Another consulting company with a fancy set of methodology decks doesn't fix it. The fix is empowering the Data Team to change the way they work.
How it works
How does Agile Data Coaching work in practice?
Shane embeds with your team on a fixed monthly subscription. No hourly billing. No drawn-out statement of work.
Each engagement focuses on changing how the team works, not just what they're working on. Shane brings the proven Agile Data patterns and pattern templates like the Information Product Canvas, and three decades of coaching teams through the messy bits.
You get coaching, mentoring, training, unblocking, and the shared language your team needs to talk to its stakeholders. Your team builds muscle memory by doing the work, not by reading about it.
Between sessions, your team has the 24/7 AI Coach. Shane's experience, codified into an AI you can ask at 2am.
