Agile coaching skills are one of the most in-demand skills nowadays. Agile coaching is a crucial skill for Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and Leadership Coaches to support self-managed teams.
Agilemania has been facilitating Agile Coaching classes since 2027 and has been well-appreciated by participants.
We started our virtual agile coaching services in India long ago, with participants from Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, and New Delhi. However, it gained popularity this year during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We only run Agile Coaching training during Indian daytime and welcome participants from all over the world.
Since our agile consulting and coaching is primarily designed for individuals residing in India, the agile coach certification cost in India is (INR 23,999 + 18% GST), even if you join from outside India.
Become an Agile Coach and kickstart your Agile journey with these essential steps
Gain recognition as an expert in Agile methodologies, expand your career prospects, and access a global community of Agile practitioners.
Agile coaching is a role that helps individuals, teams, and businesses adopt and enhance Agile ways of working.
An Agile coach helps people learn about Agile principles, apply them in real-life situations, and address the challenges that arise from change.
This includes helping team members learn, making it easier for them to work together, teaching frameworks such as Scrum or Kanban, and eliminating obstacles that hinder progress.
Benefits of Agile Coaching:
Builds stronger, self-organizing teams
Improves communication and collaboration across roles
Helps deliver value to customers faster and more consistently
Encourages continuous improvement and a growth mindset
Supports leadership in creating a culture of agility
By combining teaching, mentoring, and hands-on guidance, Agile coaching empowers teams to work smarter, adapt quickly, and continuously improve their performance.
What's Special About Agilemania Agile Coach Training?
We often hear and support that agile coaching is a skill that someone can't master in 3 days of training. After a long debate among our coaches, we agreed to provide coaching support for six months through our mentoring session. Naveen Kumar Singh is our principal consultant and trainer for ICAgile - Agile Coaching, who runs a fortnightly mentoring session on Agile Coaching for our mentees.
What We Teach in Our (ICP-ACC) Training?
We teach six modules in three days. These modules get introduced during training in the form of stories.
These stories are about agile transformation and transition, challenges during transition, what worked, and what not for our consultants.
These stories help connect the dots and help participants visualize what they should be doing as agile coaches.
Take our Agile, Scrum, and SAFe® Assessments created by top Agile Coaches with Expertly Crafted Assessment Questions.
We think that real coaching mastery needs to be developed over time, unlike most 3-day certification programs.
That's why Naveen Kumar Singh, our Principal Consultant and Master Trainer, leads personalized mentoring sessions every two weeks for six months for each participant.
This exceptional help ensures that you can apply what you've learned with confidence in real life.
Module #1 - Agile Coach as an Agile-Lean Practitioner
The Agile-Lean Practitioner covers agile values & principles, as well as thinking approaches such as systems thinking, lean thinking, and customer-centricity, while also briefly discussing agile methods, frameworks, and practices.
Module #2 - Agile Coach as a Change Agent
Transformation mastery covers the Satir change model, the agile coaches' role during transformation, and what to do to initiate change and sustain change.
We delve deeper into designing change models, assessing teams, and providing support through teaching, coaching, and mentoring.
Module #3 - Agile Coach as a Teacher
An agile coach trainer should support change through teaching, and teaching to adults is one of the most challenging tasks.
We teach how to design content using various techniques and how to engage audiences effectively.
Participants learn more by doing rather than just listening, and we practice the same and help participants pick up this skill.
Module #4 - Agile Coach as a Mentor
Mentoring is another area where someone can be a champion by learning various tips and tricks, mentoring others, and gaining an understanding of mentoring styles and conversations.
We help participants design and develop multiple mentoring programs to support individuals during agile transformation.
Speed mentoring is an area that becomes particularly useful during the transition to mentoring new Scrum Masters and Product Owners.
Module #5 - Agile Coach as a Professional Coach
Professional coaching is a profession, and experienced coaches often specialize in roles such as life coaching, career coaching, and agile leadership coaching.
Our goal is not to learn professional coaching but to master the coaching conversation.
We achieve this by learning the tips and tricks of professional coaching to incorporate into our day-to-day conversations and have engaging conversations.
Module #6 - Agile Coach as a Team Coach
Agile coaches guide teams in self-management to ensure they stay committed to delivering the best possible results as a team.
One must understand conflicts, facilitate conflict resolution, assess the team's process maturity, facilitate team decisions, and prioritize organizational impediments to be a better agile coach.
