Linda C.: Could this technique be used for Coaching and Mentoring for individual Job Performance. If
so, could you suggest some readings and examples of formats to follow.

Dr. Dave Response: The approach that I defined for coaching and mentoring are based on my
observations and experiences. I will make the recent white paper I created available on the
www.KnolShare.Org blog.

Dolores P.: What advice would you offer to someone wanting to enter the Agile or Scrum field? First
steps, e.g. heavy math background needed?

Dr. Dave Response: I would begin with attending a certification class for Scrum, PMI-ACP, and / or the
Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). Your background does not require a degree in math.
