Key Differences
An audit is the right first step when you don't yet know the root cause of your delivery problems. It gives you an objective baseline before committing to a solution.
An Agile coach is the right choice when you know what needs to change and need ongoing support to build new habits, train the team, and sustain improvements.
The most effective transformation sequence: audit first to diagnose, then coach with a clear roadmap. Skip the audit and coaching often fixes the wrong problems.
Side-by-Side
How an Agile audit differs from ongoing Agile coaching across every key dimension.
| Dimension | Agile Audit (Klarheit) | Agile Coach (Typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Time commitment | Time-boxed (2–4 weeks) | Ongoing (3–12 months) |
| Objective | Diagnose current state | Implement change over time |
| Cost | Defined project cost | Open-ended retainer |
| Output | Written report + roadmap | Improved practices |
| Bias risk | Low (independent) | Higher (invested in solution) |
| Best when | You need clarity first | You know what to fix |
| Ongoing support | Optional 30/60/90 check-ins | Continuous engagement |
| Board / investor visibility | High (tangible deliverable) | Low (process change) |
