About this class

This 2-day live instructor certification course (+ 1 day self-paced online) focuses on the mindset, roles, and responsibilities of an Agile Coach. After completion, the learner will be able to differentiate between and among 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. This training introduces participants to foundational team coaching skills and team development concepts for starting and growing teams while focusing on teams and organizations as human systems. A key part of this course is to focus on developing an understanding of the professional coaching skillset and the value of honing these skills to serve individuals on an agile team. 

Agile Coaches are role models for teams and leaders alike and they master the transition between the various stances. They are highly effective taking teams on a journey toward high-performance. 

As part of the self-paced online content, participants will earn the new ICAgile Micro-Credential "Coaching Conversations" in addition to the ICP-ACC certificate. Each participant will also receive a free digital copy of Joe's Agile Kata book (epub or PDF).

"I LOVED the course! The content was thorough. Working through the several stances of a coach was very helpful. The breakout sessions were challenging and also enjoyable. Joe’s facilitation was outstanding and he kept us right on track, gave us insights from your own experience, asked good questions to get us thinking. I didn’t want the class to end!”
