Coaching and Facilitation · ICPATF
Agile Team Facilitation (ICP-ATF)
Move beyond agenda management to genuine, purposeful group facilitation — designing workshops that reliably achieve their intended outcome, not just run to time. You'll learn techniques for groups of different sizes, energy levels and conflict, how to handle difficult dynamics like silence, dominance and resistance without losing the room, and how to create the psychological safety that gets participants saying what they actually think. Built for Scrum Masters, coaches and consultants whose meetings currently drift or drag, ICP-ATF is ICAgile's certification in agile team facilitation.
