Description of ICP-ATF Course

The goal of the ICP-ATF course is to help you make your meetings more effective, both as a participant and facilitator, by exploring a variety of models, ideas, and techniques so that you may be influential in creating a culture of collaboration. The course focuses on skills, techniques, and the mindset of the facilitator stance of an Agile Coach.

An Agile coaching mindset and approach to team facilitation can unequivocally transform the dynamics of an organization. By empowering Scrum Masters, Agile leaders, and others at all levels with coaching skills, their impact on the organization will boost team morale, engagement, collaboration, performance, and productivity.

Participants will learn group facilitation tools and techniques to effectively structure meetings and workshops that result in meaningful outcomes. As a result of this class, you will develop a deep appreciation for the art and science of facilitation as key to growing collaboration and empowering teams to be self-directed.

Through this knowledge, participants will be able to identify and interact with teams at each stage of team development to have the greatest impact as an Agile Team Facilitator. This will empower coaches, leaders, and their organizations to achieve the next level in overall Business Agility and Servant Leadership.
