Build the key skills needed to lead and effectively facilitate, coach, mentor, and teach agile teams.
Designed by key thought leaders who defined the discipline of agile coaching, the Agile Coaching certification from IC Agile (ICP-ACC) verifies an understanding of the tools, skills, and techniques needed to coach agile teams.
This three-day course will immerse the attendees into both coaching theory and scenario-based coaching practise led by our own highly-respected trainers and coaches.
The course is split into three major themes:
- Coaching Individuals
- Coaching Teams
- Coaching Organisations
and will be taught with a blend of theory and coaching practice. Attendees will be expected to bring some real-life scenarios and issues they have experienced to work through.
Topics that will be covered during the class:
- Coaching Individuals
- SPEED Coaching
- Coaching Ethics
- Different Coaching Stances
- The Coaching Alliance
- The Coaching Arc
- Active Listening
- Powerful Questioning
- Establishing Coaching Presence
- Coaching Teams
- Personal Journeys
- Team Chartering
- Team Assessment
- Powerful Observations
- Dealing With Conflict
- Giving & Receiving Feedback
- Coaching Organisations
- Change Models (Change Equation & RAMen)
- Systems Thinking
- Teaching & Education
Students will be expected to reflect regularly throughout the course and will be given a coaching handbook to update as a journal of learning through the course.
Both practising or aspiring agile coaches with a passion for servant leadership, facilitation, professional coaching, mentoring, and teaching will benefit from this course. Other relevant roles include Scrum Masters, Agile Project Managers or those who regularly support team-based development in complex environments.
Although there are no formal prerequisites, we have found that this certification is best pursued after an agile foundation course such as Scrum Foundations, Agile Fundamentals (ICP) or CSM/PSM.
What is a CSM?
This course is endorsed by IC Agile (icagile.com) and on completion entitles the delegate to claim a Agile Coaching (ICP-ACC) accreditation – valid indefinitely upon course completion.
Is there an exam?
Yes. The ICP-ACC accreditation is achieved by attending this three-day course and participating fully in the exercises and class discussions, in addition to completing the coaching handbook as a journalling method throughout the course itself.
Is my booking refundable/transferrable?
Yes. We will issue a full refund if you cancel your booking 14 days before the course starts. However, cancellation (or no-show at the event) after this time you will result in you being charged the full amount due.
At our discretion, we may transfer your booking to another scheduled course date, providing payment has been received.
Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?
Get in touch with us directly if you have any more specific questions, and one of the team will be happy to help.
