Agile Team Facilitator (ICP-ATF) Live-Online Certification Course

Most Agile professionals simply stop learning after they complete a CSM or CSPO course and never go beyond the basics. What they discover is that Agile Coaching and Leadership takes much more rigor in order to become effective in changing an organization's culture, mindset, and behaviors. To be successful in coaching Agile is to achieve full understanding of Agile capabilities including leadership, change management, facilitation, and others.

The Agile Coach Bootcamp is designed to advance your mastery of Agile so that you're prepared to coach team members, managers, and executives.

Join Hyperdrive Agile and Damon Poole (CPC, ACC) for this 2-day, online training focused primarily on the mindset and role of an Agile Team Facilitator. Participants will learn group facilitation tools and techniques to design effective meetings and workshops that engage the entire audience and drive towards agreed-upon outcomes. Participants will also develop their facilitation skills and capabilities to foster collaboration and enable self-organizing teams.

Course Agenda:

• Setting the Ground for Collaboration
• Agile Coaching Competency Framework
• Facilitating Collaboration and Participation
• Facilitating Problem Solving and Decision Making
• The Facilitation Process
• Organizing and Facilitating Agile Meetings

As an outcome of this course, participants will be eligible for the ICP - ATF certification. The full three-day course must be completed before certification will be issued.

*Attendees may register for the full bootcamp at a discount or each class (Facilitation or Agile Coaching) individually.
