To someone who isn't in the corporate world, the job title "agile coach" is about as bullshit as anything out there.

People in this role are actually paid to walk around inside an organisation, finding things that aren't sufficiently 'agile' and coaching people on how to make them 'agile'. Concrete deliverables=none, ability to measure success=none, ability to achieve any actual tangible outcome whatsoever=none, ability to invoke apparently-meaningful-yet-utterly-irrelevant anecdotes=infinite.

'Experts' in this field are highly in demand, and held in fear &/or awe at many corporates.
