Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills
Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills (PSFS)
Meeting facilitators often ask a group, “What does everyone think?” And that’s fine. But PSFS gives meeting facilitators more tools to bring out the best in your group. Often, when you ask the group, “What do you think,” you end up hearing ONLY the loudest ideas, not necessarily the best ideas. PSFS gives you a toolkit that helps the best ideas come forward. Help the quiet voices come out, as well as the loud ones with PSFS.
Effective facilitation can help teams move forward toward their desired outcomes. This course discusses what good facilitation looks like and provides you with a toolkit of approaches to help teams better solve problems, build consensus, and foster transparency.
