Run the room. Don't just attend the meeting.
Knowing the Scrum events isn't the same as facilitating them well. ICP-ATF gives Scrum Masters, coaches, and team leads the facilitation mindset and toolkit to turn any meeting into a conversation that actually moves the team forward.
About the course
ICP-ATF is a 2-day live training focused on the mindset and craft of agile team facilitation, not just another framework overview.
You and your cohort practice facilitation directly: designing a meeting purpose, handling the moment a conversation goes sideways, and getting full participation from a group that includes both quiet voices and dominant ones.
This is an ICAgile-accredited certification, built around real facilitation practice rather than a written exam.
What you’ll learn
ICP-ATF changes how you run a room, not just what agenda you bring into it.
• Design a facilitator guide that drives a group toward a specific, agreed outcome
• Facilitate constructive dialogue between groups with competing interests, like a Product Owner and a delivery team
• Use techniques that work for both remote and in-person sessions
• Get full participation from a group, including the voices that usually stay quiet
• Handle different perspectives and conflict without shutting the conversation down
• Assess team maturity and apply the right facilitation approach for where a team actually is
What's covered
Two days. The craft of facilitation, practiced live. You'll design and run facilitation exercises throughout, not just discuss theory.
Day 1
• The mindset and role of an agile team facilitator
• Principles of effective facilitation to achieve desired outcomes
• Designing a facilitator guide for a specific purpose
• Facilitating remote and in-person team conversations
Day 2
• Facilitating full participation across a diverse group
• Handling different perspectives and conflict in real time
• Models for assessing team maturity
• Practicing live facilitation with peer and instructor feedback
What you need to bring
No prior certification required, some agile meeting experience helps.
• Helpful: exposure to Scrum events or agile team meetings
• Virtual sessions: set up Zoom and Mural (instructions provided)
Right for you if you are…
• A Scrum Master who runs the events but wants the actual facilitation skill behind them
• An Agile Coach who needs a stronger facilitation toolkit for team and stakeholder sessions
• A team lead or Project Manager who facilitates group decisions and wants them to land better
• A Product Owner or Business Analyst who regularly facilitates stakeholder conversations
• Anyone who has sat through too many meetings that produced updates instead of decisions

Learn how AI can support better facilitated sessions
AI for drafting your facilitator guide
Before the session starts, AI can help you draft a first-pass facilitator guide: purpose, agenda, and likely friction points, so you walk in with a stronger starting point.
Know what AI drafts, and what you facilitate live
AI can help you prepare the structure and anticipate friction points. It can't read the room, sense the moment to change tack, or hold space for a difficult conversation. This course is about exactly the skill AI can't replace for you.
