Technical Coaching
summary
Claims a repeatable method called Samman method that pairs short guided learning hour sessions (code katas like the Gilded Rose refactoring kata) with team ensemble work; shows concrete outcomes — improved teamwork, more frequent commits and refactoring, and teams coached across ~15 teams over 18 months. Offers tools: exercise repos, YouTube guided sessions, a coaching society and paid engagements; reports remote coaching works and cites a study where under 3% actually practice TDD and under 20% run unit tests.
