“…Annosi, Magnusson, Martini, & Appio, 2016;Hoda, Noble, & Marshall, 2013;Moe, Dingsøyr, & Dybå, 2010) have not examined the role of agile coaches specifically or with the perspective of coaches as (complexity) leaders. A search on Scopus in August 2018 with the terms "agile coach" or "scrum master" results in only one peerreviewed study (Srivastava & Jain, 2017), and three conference papers examining the practices of the roles explicitly at all (Bass, 2014;Parizi, Gandomani, & Nafchi, 2014;Santos, Goldman, & Filho, 2013). This study thus adds to our knowledge about practices of leadership in non-managerial roles, particularly as it applies to the issue of management of emergent processes, by its description of the micro-level basis of accomplishing adaptive space through local, everyday actions of enabling leadership.…”
