AGILE TEAM COACHING
Coaching as Powerful Leadership
Coaching is one of the most powerful forms of leadership, especially in an organization looking to embrace an agile mindset. The Agile Team Coaching course is designed for those who want to enhance the skills of helping others learn and grow.
Whether you hold authority over your teams, or merely the responsibility of helping your team create results, this class will help you navigate the complexities of collaboration, and even lessen the use of authority to get work done.
The course is brought to you in partnership with TeamCatapult in the US, where they have trained hundreds of leaders, managers, product owners, agile coaches and ScrumMasters in the skills of facilitation and coaching.
“As agile leaders we have a palette of approaches to choose from when a problem arises. Knowing which colour to paint with in the specific situation, be it mentoring, advising, coaching, educating, is what turns a house painter into a Van Gogh.” – Antoinette Coetzee

WHAT ARE THE PREREQUISITES?
This is an intermediate course for practitioners with at least 6 months of hands-on agile experience. You should also be grounded in Agile fundamentals (e.g. ICAgile Certified Professional or Certified ScrumMaster or Certified Product Owner or equivalent agile training). The course builds directly on your agile team experience – without this, you and your colleagues will get a less than fulfilling experience. The class prepares you to act as a leader on agile teams and leave with ideas for helping them as soon as you get back.
Completion of the Agile Team Facilitation or a similar facilitation course is recommended, but not mandatory.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Our virtual classes require you to have access to a computer with an up-to-date web browser, video camera, headset and microphone.
