Agile Coach Training I

An Agile Coach Training that gets you started right away

As an Agile Coach, you help teams and organizations to perform. You accomplish this by making work more Agile. If you have several Agile teams, the added value of an Agile Coach is high. Compare it to playing football: a good coach can also bring an average team to the world cup. How do you bring Agile teams to the top? That’s what you’ll learn in this training.

The Agile coach focuses on the functioning of the team. The functioning has to do with mindset, clear roles, an atmosphere of openness, focus on added value, and above all enjoying the work.

What you’ll learn in the Agile Coach training

In this training, you will learn how to coach the Product Owner, Scrum Master, team members, and stakeholders in their roles. You ensure a whole in which all roles function together, in a way that fits the organization.

The more these roles are performed with an Agile mindset, the better the collaboration. You will get practical guidance on how you can give people an Agile mindset.

In addition to the transformation to the Agile mindset, this training is about coaching individuals, coaching teams, guiding Agile transformations, dealing with conflict, and your personal development as a coach. You can view the program in detail at the bottom of this page.

Focused on online and offline coaching

Increasing the performance of your teams is a challenge, especially if those teams – as is increasingly happening – are not physically together. This Agile Coach training can be followed both on location and online. The online version is a practical introduction to commonly used online tools. With the on-site variant, the advantage is that you get more informal contact with fellow coaches. You will learn online and offline facilitation techniques.

What makes Scrum Academy training special?

Agile Coaching challenges your mental flexibility. Coaching Agile teams is something that is difficult to learn from a book or a video. It helps a lot if you experience it for yourself. We want to give you that experience at Scrum Academy. We train in an interactive, challenging, and practical way. You build a toolkit of concrete working methods and interventions. We pay attention to Psychological Safety and the energy for creativity. There is room for your specific questions. After the Agile Coach training, you can: tackle your Agile challenges with confidence.

At Scrum Academy, you train together with other Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Lean experts, and starting Agile Coaches. Much attention is paid to the exchange of experiences and especially to active exercises and working methods.

Structure of the training

You will work on your skills as a coach to make individuals, teams, and organizations more Agile. During 3 days (physical on location) or 6 half-days (online) you will get started with interactive exercises and practical cases. You will meet other interesting participants with whom you will share a wealth of experience and knowledge.

When you follow the Agile Coach training online, you do assignments that you normally do in the training room, between sessions. Count on about 6 hours of assignments that you carry out independently with other participants. We believe in practice. By practicing you get a deeper understanding of the theory. Or you discover what you didn’t know yet. You can also directly ask questions about it. We will discuss the results of the exercises in the next meeting. Within the program, we work with an interactive digital learning environment in which you exchange learning experiences, tips & tricks, and inspiration.
