About our Amazing class.

This intense interactive experience in this workshop was hand crafted by Damon Poole and Gillian Lee, co-authors of the upcoming book “Professional Coaching for Agilists” by Pearson. They have been co-designing Agile Coach workshops for nearly a decade, more than most other offerings on the market. In 2019 and 2020 they have trained hundreds of people while continuously updating the material with experience from their ongoing Agile Coaching work. In addition, this workshop has been designed to utilize the knowledge of the participants in order for participants and instructors to learn from each other.

This workshop is more like a curated collection of interactive conference sessions than a typical certification course cramming you full of slides. There’s Q&A, open discussion on specific topics, breakout rooms, individual and group activities, sharing experiences within your breakout room and with the full class, and the use of Zoom, Mural, Google Docs, and other tools.

Two thirds of the workshop is spent in fun group activities and games in zoom breakout rooms with 2-5 people depending on the activity. Most of the activities are also available as free downloads, professionally created boxed kits or both. We encourage you to have interesting materials on hand for use in some of the activities such as colored markers, Legos, pipe-cleaners, or whatever works for you. At the completion of the workshop you will have dozens of games, activities, and techniques for use with your teams and organization. Discover where you are in your Agile Coach journey and learn new skills and techniques to progress further and faster in that journey.

The focus of the workshop is applying the skills of Professional Coaching within an Agile environment. What you will learn is framework agnostic; applicable for coaching in any Agile-oriented environment whether people are using Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, LeSS, or any other Agile-oriented set of practices.
