Course description
Agile Team Facilitation (ICP-ATF) ... It focuses primarily on the mind-set and role of an agile team facilitator, while also providing group facilitation tools and techniques for effectively designing meetings and workshops that both engage the entire audience and drive towards agreed-upon outcomes. Agile Team Facilitator (ATF) role is broader than conducting meetings.
The ATF must also guide the team through the paradigm shifts required in Agile team environments and lead them towards collaboration and self-organization. To do so requires a mind-set shift for the team leader – the facilitator mind-set.

As a stepping-stone towards becoming an Agile Coach, this course focuses not only on skills and techniques but also on the mind-set for the facilitator and the facilitator’s path towards becoming an Agile Coach. It includes group facilitation tools and techniques for effectively designing meetings and workshops that both engage the entire audience and drives toward agreed-upon outcomes.
