Certified Agile Coaches – the all-rounders when it comes to agility

Our working world has become complex and demands fast, confident action. No one can keep track of everything on their own. Interdisciplinary teams and agile working methods help to be effective in these challenges. But who orchestrates the good soloists in the team to real interaction and who shapes the environment in the organization in which such teams also thrive? As a wibas Certified Agile Coach, you bring the right skills and the necessary attitude for this.

Our understanding of the role
Agile Coach

You build an inspiring environment, spur on fellow employees, challenge and lead the way. You have ideas, tools and techniques at the ready that help individuals, support the team and move the organization forward. To do this, you need knowledge and skill, empathy and expertise. All of these elements are part of the Certified Agile Coach training. We have developed the "House of the Agile Coach" as a guardrail for this training program.

Drawing with the 7 central elements for the Agile Coach role as a house with foundation, pillars and roof.

Learning journey through the "agile universe"

Together with eight to twelve participants, you undertake an 18-month learning journey through the "agile universe". In a personal preliminary discussion that you have with our trainers in advance, we match prior knowledge and expectations and make sure that the training program fits your needs. We ensure a balance of theory and practice so that you can immediately apply what you have learned. Pre- and post-training assignments and personal mentoring create an individual learning path that ensures maximum transfer and guarantees holistic development.


Our coach program is characterized by the fact that our trainers have many years of own experience as Agile Coaches, bring broad industry knowledge, and they thus convey the content from theory and their own experience.

5 modules with different focuses

The modules alternate between two and three days. They take place as classroom events in Darmstadt at wibas. The modules extend over seven months, during which you remain together with the other participants as a learning group. The group setting enables intensive exchange and at the same time forms a protected space for joint learning.


In each module, we set a different content focus in order to illuminate agile working from different perspectives and to test it in practical exercises.


Module 1: Agile Universe
We start by aligning the agile equipment of knowledge and experience that everyone brings with them in order to lay a common foundation for all. It is about the working mechanisms behind the agile principles, about the interaction of the agile roles and about deepening aspects in the frameworks like Scrum and Kanban. Already in the first module, the contents are worked out, made personally tangible and linked to one's own everyday work.

Module 2: Product Ownership
The second module focuses on how products/services are developed and maintained in an agile manner. It is about the understanding and decomposition of requirements and the question of how clarification is brought about iteratively between the implementers and the requirements. This process and the responsibilities within it are essential for the effectiveness of an organization, regardless of the framework used (Scrum, Kanban,...).

Module 3: Agile Attitude
In the third module you will deal with agile attitude. The module touches on topics of individual responsibility as well as the topic of leadership in an agile environment. You will learn how the Agile Coach helps to ensure that the agile attitude is lived and experienced throughout the organization. The module concludes with a reflection on the learning journey so far.

Module 4: Scaling agile  
Many organizations use agile working at the team level. For greater leverage, agile teams must work together. This is the only way to develop more complex products and services and manage dependencies. This module will take you through the concepts of key scaling models and provide immediate experience of their mechanisms of action in a simulation. On the last day, we dedicate ourselves again to reflecting on the individual learning journeys and design a conscious farewell together.

Module 5: Agile Transformation and final colloquium
 Since most organizations are about moving from previous ways of working towards agility, in this module you will deal with change processes in social systems. With this, you will work on the role of the Agile Coach as a catalyst of change. You will receive implementation tools for the success factors of successful change and develop a change approach that is agile in itself..Scaling agile practices and final colloquium

Mentoring by experienced Agile Coaches
The overall Agile Coach training includes two two-hour individual sessions with one of our experienced wibas coaches. Here you have the opportunity to clarify and deepen personal questions.

 

Answers to frequently asked questions

What requirements should I fulfill?
The Agile Coach training is an in-depth training for people who already have experience in agile working. We do not require any formal qualifications (such as Certified Scrum Master of the Scrum Alliance or PSM of scrum.org), but we do expect real practical experience in agile working in or with self-organized teams to the extent of at least two years. We also desire openness to engage with topics from other industries and to self-reflect.

What training materials will I receive?
Documentation of all contents and work results in the modules;
Book: Organization in a digital age

What do I do if I cannot attend a module?
We have not scheduled any catch-up or repeat dates for the individual modules. We therefore ask you to keep the dates of the training bindingly free. If you miss a module, we will be happy to provide you with the documents from the respective module and recommend that you catch up on the content in the learning group. 

Will I receive a certificate?
Upon completion of the training, you will receive the "Certified Agile Coach" certificate.

Are all costs really included?
The course price includes all costs for attending training modules one to seven, the training and learning material, break catering during the day and lunch during the modules. In addition, you may incur travel and accommodation expenses. If you wish, we can organize hotel accommodation for all modules (from the evening before each module to the last day of training - i.e. a total of 13 nights) for a fixed price of 2,000 euros.
