Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills ™️

Become a better facilitator to improve Scrum team interactions. Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills™ is an interactive course designed to help Scrum practitioners develop a facilitator mindset, master facilitation skills, and learn when and how to select effective techniques for various circumstances.

Strong facilitation skills lead to better problem solving, more effective Scrum events and better team alignment, all leading to better results.

One of the key principles of Scrum is that problem solving and decision making is left to the Scrum team. The Scrum framework creates the conditions for this to happen, and the Scrum values help create an environment in which the voice of every Scrum team member can be heard.

However, interactions within the team do not always go well. Sometimes team members lose sight of the goals, do not fully commit and/or cannot agree. Effective facilitation can guide the team to the desired outcome.

Contents

In this one-day skill-building course, participants will learn how to become better facilitators to improve interactions with their Scrum teams, stakeholders and customers. They will focus on how to adopt facilitation as a position and implement Scrum values.

Students will address a series of common Scrum-related scenarios by applying several facilitation techniques that they can add to their collection of agile practices. They will create and leave with their own facilitation “plan” to improve their next team discussion or Scrum event.
