The Scrum.org Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills (PSFS) is an interactive one-day course designed to help teams and individuals develop proficiency in facilitation skills so that they can help teams better solve problems, build consensus, and foster transparency.
Great Scrum Teams are self-managing, cross-functional, and have the ability and skills necessary to drive successful outcomes. But team interactions don’t always go as expected and cause conflict or roadblocks. Effective facilitation can help teams move forward toward their desired outcomes.
Improve and develop facilitation skills for effective collaboration with Scrum and Agile teams.
