One of the things that distinguishes agile project management is the involvement of the team in generating ideas and making decisions. Thanks to this approach, the “brain” of the entire team is utilized, the level of responsibility and motivation of each team member is increased. So if you want to improve the process, reduce losses and increase efficiency, it is important to involve the whole team in the process and reveal everyone’s talents and ideas. But how to involve the whole team?

One piece of the puzzle is a skillful facilitation. Facilitation is an important skill that should be developed by each one who is leading an agile team. Team is a great power! And facilitation is one of the good tools for unleashing this power.

This course will help you obtain a clear vision of the role and mindset of the facilitator and will give a strong foundation for your journey along the agile coaching path. Accent on the practical tasks and discussions will result in you getting on-hands experience with some of the practices and wisdom from each participant of the session.

During the course we will cover:

Role of the facilitator, and how it differs from trainer and expert
Required skills and mindset of a successful facilitator
How facilitation is used in the world of Agile
Where you are on your Agile Facilitation journey
How to get from divergent opinions to a joint solution
Technics of group decision making, like World Café, Lego Serious Play, Six Thinking Hats
Challenges of remote facilitation and how to deal with them
Practical skills in facilitating Scrum events

After successful course completion, all attendees will get international certificates issued by the International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile). Please note, there is no exam or test at the end of the course.
So, your presence and active participation are important for obtaining a certificate.
