The open-data and civic-engagement team never lets anyone but the coach facilitate. What should the Team Coach introduce?

Short Explanation
If only the coach can run the open-data standup, the team is still dependent. Passing the marker is how self-management grows. A forever-facilitator is a bottleneck with a sticky note.
Full Explanation
If the open-data and civic-engagement team never lets anyone but the coach facilitate, the Team Coach should introduce rotating facilitation so the team learns to self-manage its events. Passing the marker builds capability; a forever-facilitator is a bottleneck with a sticky note. Advanced SM/TC work includes knowing when to step back from the front of the room while still coaching from the side.
A rule that only the coach may run events fails because it institutionalizes dependency and blocks self-management growth. Handing all facilitation to the RTE fails because train-level leaders should not become the team's permanent facilitator substitute, and the team still never practices. Replacing team events with an AI-generated status memo the coach reads aloud fails because a memo is not empiricism or collaboration.
Exam caveat: the coach may still facilitate often, especially early; the point is deliberate growth of team facilitation skill, not abrupt abandonment. Operational check: rotate facilitation for team sync or retrospective across upcoming iterations, debrief what worked, keep the coach as mentor/backup, and verify that civic-engagement events still meet their purpose without a single indispensable facilitator.
