Facilitation is a required skill no matter the role you play and our ICAgile Agile Team Facilitation class is a #masterclass in facilitation. We teach you not only how to improve your facilitation skills as a Scrum Master or related Agile roles, but also how to facilitate no matter your role. From meeting facilitation, the use of the Core Protocols, to running an Open Space, we cover it all!
