Overview

The 6-day ICP-ACC training is one of two certified courses on the Agile Coaching track from ICAgile. It focuses primarily on the mindset, roles, and responsibilities of an Agile Coach. 

The participants will be able to differentiate between mentoring, facilitating, professional coaching, and teaching, and will also gain the skills needed to create a safe environment for meaningful collaboration and healthy conflict resolution within an agile team.

The first part of this training focuses on developing an understanding of the professional coaching skillset and the value of mastering these skills to serve individuals on an agile team. The second part introduces participants to foundational team coaching skills and team development concepts for starting and growing teams while focusing on teams and organizations as complex human systems.

 

I appreciate the team work that we were able to apply despite the remote sessions.
