Mentor Beacon
Mentoring program for agile professionals
A collaboration between the Adelaide Agile & Agility @ Scale communities.
How it works…
We match mentees with mentors based on location, experience level, speciality and professional development needs. You’ll both be asked to fill out a survey to help us find the right match.
Mentor and mentee are both agree to meet regularly, at least once a month for one hour, at a suitable time over six month period.
Every mentoring relationship is different. It’s up to you to decide the structure for your program at your first meeting. Be clear on your objectives and make sure you’re prepared for each session.
The mentee is responsible for contacting the mentor to organise a time and place for the first (and subsequent meetings) that is suitable for both participants.
