Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills™ is an interactive course designed to help Scrum practitioners develop a facilitator’s mindset, proficiency in facilitation skills, and learn when and how to select effective techniques for various circumstances. Strong facilitation skills enable better problem-solving, more effective Scrum events, and greater team alignment, all leading to better outcomes.
An essential element of Scrum is to put problem-solving and decision-making in the hands of the Scrum Team. Here, the Scrum Values help you to create an environment in which each Scrum Team member’s voice can be heard.
However, team interactions don’t always go well. Sometimes, team members lose sight of goals, don’t fully engage, or can’t reach agreement. Effective facilitation can guide your Scrum Team toward the desired outcomes.
In this one-day skills-building course, you will learn how to become a better facilitator to improve interactions with your Scrum Team(s), stakeholders, and customers. You’ll focus on how to adopt facilitation and how to apply it to enable the Scrum Values.
As a participant, you will address a series of common Scrum-related scenarios by applying several facilitation techniques that you can add to your collection of agile practices. Learn to create your own facilitation “plan” to improve your next team discussion or Scrum event.
Please note that this course is unsuitable for professionals with little Scrum knowledge or experience.
Our trainers are Scrum.org-certified experts. They are gurus in their field, gurus with impressive track records. They are happy to share their experiences, so you can understand the PSFS learning objectives stated by Scrum.org. The perfect way to expand your Scrum skills!
