ICAgile Team Facilitation (ICP-ATF) Certification

Effective Agile Coaching requires that people take their development one step at a time, obtaining competence at each step before moving on.

Agile Coaches at all developmental levels respect the boundaries of their abilities and call for assistance when needed.

Effective meetings have a clear purpose and outcomes. These are best defined by the person with the most at stake from the outcome.

Facilitators use the desired outcomes to design the meeting flow, a series of activities that help the group achieve their desired outcomes.

The connection between an Agile ceremony’s purpose and the underlying principles/values it expresses must be made explicit so that Agile ceremonies do not become empty rituals.

Retrospectives are one of the essential practices to ensure the team inspects and adapts its behavior and process. Retrospectives can either help the team continuously improve or can create team dysfunctions.

Stand-ups are the heartbeat of the team’s cadence, providing cohesion and commitment. Stand-ups can either launch the team into their work or become an empty, depleting ritual.
