About This Class

Coaching, facilitating, mentoring, and teaching aren't the same skill — and most agile practitioners are never taught the difference. This course lays the foundation: what agile coaching actually is, the presence it takes to hold space for a team, and the ethical line every coach has to learn to walk.

You'll earn the Scrum Alliance Introduction to Agile Coaching microcredential — a shareable digital badge — plus a two-year Scrum Alliance membership and 4 SEUs/PDUs toward your renewals.

Build coaching presence — the grounded, neutral presence that makes a team feel safe enough to change.

✓

Map your growth — use the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel to self-assess your coaching competencies.
