Agile Coaching Overview
The goal of agile coaching is to help individuals, teams, and organisations establish and improve agile practices and frameworks, while embedding core agile values and mindsets.
Agile coaches enable the optimisation of agile ways of working and the scaling of agile practices to ensure effective outcomes at a team and organisation level.
The role of an agile coach is varied. The coach is a guide, a catalyst, a champion for change, a servant leader, and a resolver of conflicts and issues. Effective coaches have a wealth of practical experience to draw on as they teach, mentor, coach, or facilitate agile teams to achieve exceptional results.
On successful completion of this course, participants will be awarded the ICAgile Certified Professional – Agile Certified Coaching (ICP-ACC) certification.
This Agile Coaching course for ICP-ACC certification focuses primarily on the mindset, roles, and responsibilities of an agile coach when coaching the team as a whole, or individual team members.
This course will enable participants to:
- Differentiate between and among mentoring, facilitating, consulting, teaching, and coaching
- Gain skills needed to create a safe environment for meaningful collaboration and healthy conflict resolution within an agile team
- Lead a meaningful coaching conversation and mentoring session
- Create a lesson plan for teaching core agile concepts
- Understand how to identify and improve team performance levels.
These course objectives are drawn from ICAgile's Agile Coach Learning Objectives (ICP-ACC Track).

This is a practical course where you will be expected to demonstrate concepts, tools and techniques presented. You will therefore be asked to conduct a simulated coaching conversation, a mentoring session and a training session.
Courses are facilitated by our expert team and can be conducted onsite or at our premises. All courses can be customised to suit your requirements.
As part of PM-Partners’ new integrated learning solution, this course offers students the option to attend our bespoke classroom in person or virtually by dialling in from a remote location. Trainers are skilled at both delivery methods and use the latest in virtual technology to simultaneously provide participants with the same interactive, multi-faceted and challenging learning experience. Whichever delivery mode learners choose, comprehension and recall techniques will be used to provide them with a solid understanding of Agile Coaching.
For group bookings, courses can be customised to suit your requirements and conducted onsite at your premises, at our training centre, or virtually.
