    process and helps the team to learn. A coach brings an outside perspective to help a team see themselves more clearly.&#xD;
    The coach will help balance the needs of delivering the project while improving the use of the practices. A coach or&#xD;
    team of coaches supports the Customer Team, the Developer Team, and the Organization.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The decisions that coaches make should always stem from the XP values (communication, simplicity, feedback, and&#xD;
    courage) and usually move toward the XP practices. As such, familiarity with the values and practices is a&#xD;
    prerequisite. The coach must command the respect required to lead the respective teams. The coach must possess people&#xD;
    skills and be effective in influencing the actions of the teams.&#xD;
