Agile Coaching (ICP-ACC)

About this course

An Agile coaching mindset can transform how leaders show up—boosting morale, engagement, collaboration, performance, and productivity across the organization.

Agile Coaching (ICP-ACC) is a knowledge-based Agile coaching certification. The primary focus is helping participants understand the Agile mindset, roles, and responsibilities of an Agile coach.

After this certification, candidates can differentiate between facilitating, mentoring, professional coaching, and teaching—and develop skills such as team collaboration and conflict resolution that help coaches form a safe environment in an organization.

One key focus is developing an understanding of the professional coaching skill set and the value of honing these skills to serve individuals on an Agile team.
