About the Course
Inspire Collaboration. Elevate Performance.
This course goes beyond simply running meetings or facilitating Scrum events—it's about developing the mindset, presence, and behavioral techniques required to cultivate high-performing Agile teams.
Agile team facilitation is as much about how you show up as it is about what you do. It's about creating the conditions for collaboration, guiding conversations with intention, and fostering the psychological safety and shared purpose that unlock team potential.
Participants will explore and apply facilitation skills that support Agile values and principles, with an emphasis on behaviors that encourage trust, engagement, and continuous improvement. You'll learn how to read the room, manage group dynamics, and use structure without rigidity—whether you're leading a retrospective, navigating conflict, or helping a team reach alignment on difficult decisions.
Primary topics include:
The Role and Stance of an Agile Facilitator: Beyond mechanics—understanding presence, neutrality, and purpose
Designing and Structuring Effective Sessions: Goals, flow, timing, and adapting in real-time
Creating Psychological Safety: Tools and practices to foster trust and openness
Group Dynamics and Team Development: Navigating forming to performing
Active Listening and Powerful Questioning: Encouraging insight, clarity, and action
Facilitating Decision-Making: Techniques for consensus, conflict resolution, and clarity
Liberating Structures and Collaboration Frameworks: Expanding your facilitation toolkit

Facilitating Core Agile Events: Planning, reviews, retrospectives—done with intention, not just structure
Remote and Hybrid Facilitation: Keeping energy and outcomes high in distributed settings
Whether you're a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, or team lead, this course equips you to go beyond process and mechanics—helping you become a catalyst for meaningful change and empowered team performance.
