Certified Agile Transformation Coach C-ATC

Join us for this Certified Agile Transformation Coach® training with Nils Oud and Joe Krebs. In this hands-on training, participants will apply the principles of the Agile Manifesto in case studies, use evidence-based management, Liberating Structures, Transformation Kanban Boards and Impact Analysis. Upon completion, attendees can verify their knowledge in agile transformation and become a Certified Agile Transformation Coach Level I. (C-ATC-I). More details below:

Agile transformations are complex because the agile manifesto offers many different angles on the effectiveness with agile processes. Simple , cookie-cutter transformation approaches fall short capturing the various views and therefore creates a mediocre and sub-optimal agile organization. Planning an agile transformation top-down and start-to-finish is neither successful nor does it signal the right message to everyone involved in the transformation that change is real. Thus, agile transformation coaches have a deep understanding of agile principles and how they are lived by during agile transformations. They also have the emotional intelligence to take leaders and team members alike on a journey that will fundamentally change the eco-system of the organization.

What You Will Learn:

Through empowerment and purpose for employees, agile organizations also focus on quality of work and employee satisfaction.
