Empower Your Scrum Mastery
Scrum Masters do much more than facilitate events; they support, challenge, and guide teams to grow. Team Coaching for Scrum Masters (TC4SM) is a one-day essentials training that introduces you to the core concepts and techniques of professional team coaching.
Many Scrum Masters struggle to move from "fixing problems" to "coaching the team." This course helps you see team dynamics through new lenses, allowing you to take your coaching stance with confidence while staying true to your accountability.

FAQ Section (Specific for SF Exclusive)
- Is this different from the PSM training? Yes. PSM focuses on the Scrum framework and mechanics. TC4SM focuses specifically on the soft skills, psychology, and coaching techniques needed to make that framework work effectively with people.
- Do I need to be a certified coach? No. This is an "essentials" training designed to give you a strong foundation and actionable tools, regardless of your prior coaching experience.
- Will we practice coaching? Absolutely. The day blends theory with practice. You will actively use coaching tools for observation, intervention, and reflection.
