Course Content In a world of functional interdependencies, live and online communication, internal and external customer service expectations, and business outsourcing, interpersonal skills— or lack of them—are affecting individual and team performance more than ever.

Research such as that by Professor Robert Kelley from Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business has demonstrated clearly that technical skills alone do not distinguish standout employees. Competencies such as initiative and business awareness, as well as skills in leadership, collaboration, communication also factor in.

Business Skills for IT Professionals Program with a focus on innovation and communication is a one day workshop designed specifically to equip technical professionals with the inter-personal skills required to succeed in today’s demanding business environment.

• for you.
• Your job has become routine and you notice the teams seem to be going through the
• motions too.
• Your teams get the practices and are doing well, but not getting the fabulous results
• you were supposed to get.
• You are an awesome agile coach and you want the skills that will help you earn the
• Certified Scrum Coach designation.
• You are not sure if the agile coach role is really right for you.

Course Content Coaching Agile Teams is a training experience that covers both the being and the doing of agile coaching. There’s a lot to learn, experience and practice.

At the end of the course, you will be capable of applying many new tools and techniques, as well as your own mind set changes, to coach agile teams to high performance.

As practical as it is provocative, the Coaching Agile Teams course challenges agile coaches to rise to the fullest expression of their role and offer simple, practical ways to get there.
Entry Requirements You must be a practicing agile coach with Certified Scrum Master or equivalent experience. This is not an Introduction-level course and we will not be covering the basics of agile or
Scrum.

In addition, you will be asked to use what you know about your real teams throughout the class so that you can leave with ideas for helping them as soon as you are back.

Learning Outcomes Outcome
You’ll walk away from the course with your personal coaching improvement backlog – a tangible plan you can use to thoughtfully improve your coaching when you’re back in your daily circumstances. We use your real world situations and scenarios throughout the class allowing you to craft powerful ways to address the challenges you face.

You’ll also have many new things to try with your teams and you will probably depart with a few provocative ideas to chew on (in fact, maybe wrangle with for a while). All of these outcomes add up to your ability to become the excellent agile coach your teams need.
