Solving problems in a group is a tremendous opportunity to find unconventional solutions and reach a higher level of collaboration. Yet, teams are often challenged to come to good, consistent, and sustainable decisions together. It is possible when the team has awareness and process in place to go through the decision-making exercise.

In this training, we lay out the process, and offer tools and techniques that can help you guide your team through defining the problem you need to solve, coming up with possible solutions, and choosing the best solution in a collaborative approach.

The course is suitable for team and project managers, Scrum Masters, Agile facilitators, as well as teams that want to improve their decision-making capabilities.
