Assembling Your Dojo Dream Team
Staffing a dojo requires a coordinator for administrative and operational tasks, and three coaches: a product coach to foster discovery and to transition teams from project to product mindset; and design and technology coaches to focus on building craft, helping teams leverage the latest practices and tools, and enabling frequent delivery. Occasionally, a niche subject-matter expert may be needed.

Coordinator
Product, technology and design coaches
Subject-matter experts
The coordinator is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the dojo, including scheduling, logistics, and communication. The coordinator serves as the primary point of contact for participants and ensures that the dojo runs smoothly and efficiently. The coordinator also works closely with the product, technology, and design coaches to ensure that the program is aligned with the business goals and strategy, and that it delivers measurable results.
Product, technology, and design coaches provide hands-on guidance in the dojo, helping participants develop new skills and apply them to real challenges. Product coaches assist with understanding customer needs and product strategy, technology coaches focus on technical skills like coding and deployment, and design coaches teach design thinking and user-centered solution creation. This support enables participants to enhance their capabilities and tackle complex problems effectively.
Subject-matter experts (SMEs) have deep knowledge in specific areas like data science, machine learning, or cybersecurity. They offer specialized guidance in the dojo, helping participants develop advanced skills and ensuring solutions align with industry best practices. SMEs enable the dojo to address a broader range of business challenges and opportunities, delivering greater value to the organization.

For many enterprises undergoing a digital transformation, the reasons are usually centered around the customer or end-user — improving their online shopping experience, the ease of interfacing with their company online, or giving them a best-in-class, personalized app experience.
“We need to be more Agile”, “We need more digital innovation to survive”, “We need to deliver more engaging and satisfying experiences to our customers”, “We need a digital strategy to make an impact in the market”...
When planning for a digital transformation, many executives focus on an “end state”, or an idealized picture of when the transformation is done, and all changes are complete. But transformations are an evolutionary process, and getting to the “end” isn’t possible—the rate of change in technology, fluctuating market demand and changing consumers preferences are the only constants.
