2. Who is to be coached?
3. What, specifically, is being observed and adjusted: process, document/template use, language, etc.?
4. What is the general approach being used for coaching?
5. How long will coaching be (aggressively) in place?
6. What support material is to be provided?
7. When and what kind of coach training is forthcoming?
