The document discusses growing internal trainers and coaches at an organization. It describes how the organization started with a few agile coaches and scrum trainers and has expanded to include over 20 scrum trainers and 5 dedicated coaches. It also discusses lessons learned from their initial approach, what worked well like shared understanding and personal relationships, and areas for improvement like providing no mandate for coaching and clarifying that coaching is not process definition.
