FAQs

I’m new to Agile HR – where should I start?

If you or your team are completely new to Agile HR, the Self-learning: Agile HR Mindset offers a flexible, two-hour introduction which you can start immediately. For a live, team-based kick-off, all our Agile HR for Teams workshops are suitable for beginners and can be delivered online or in-person, including: Agile HR Mindset, Agile Ways of Working, Design Thinking in HR, and Agile HR Portfolio Simulation.
Read moreIf you are new to agile and see it as important for your career or role, we recommend the Agile HR Certified Practitioner program. Participants often experience a significant shift in how they approach their work, bringing a more modern, agile perspective to the HR profession and building the capability to support others through change. It is a demanding professional program, and many senior learners choose it because they want to build strong foundations from the start. For in-house HR teams, we recommend a conversation with us first. This helps us understand your value streams, work content, and ambition level, so we can recommend the most relevant, sustainable, and cost-effective upskilling approach – with clear expectations of the outcomes you can achieve.

What’s the difference between the self-learning training, beginner and skill building workshops and certified programs?

Self-learning is a flexible, on-demand introduction to Agile HR that participants can complete at their own pace. [Click to read more]It has been designed for individuals who want to update their understanding of agile, as well as large HR teams that need to upskill hundreds of people quickly in the basics of Agile HR – creating a shared foundation before moving into more skills-based learning.
Beginner and skill building workshops are practical, hands-on sessions that help teams start applying agile thinking and ways of working. [Click to read more]

The beginner sessions focus on mindset – helping teams rethink how they approach, design, and deliver people products. They are facilitated by experienced Agile HR leaders, adding depth beyond self-learning through discussion, practical examples, and real-world reflections from agile HR practice.

Certified programs are in-depth practitioner journeys for HR and People & Culture professionals who want to build professional-level skills, methods, and approaches for leading and changing HR work. [Click to read more]They combine self-learning, experience-based simulations, group work, practical application, assessments, live discussions, and contextual adaptation. To achieve certification, participants are expected to attend all sessions, actively participate, and complete assessed project work that demonstrates their ability to apply Agile HR in practice, with feedback from experienced trainers.

Do I need prior Agile experience before joining a certified Agile HR training?

Prior Agile experience is not required for any of our training programs. However, our Strategy & Portfolio training is designed for more senior HR professionals and does require previous HR leadership experience (i.e. leading an HR team, and having to prioritise activities).

I've already done agile learning (not HR specific) - will your training benefit me?

If you already have agile experience – for example as a Scrum Master, in software agile, or through SAFe – our trainings will help you translate that knowledge into an HR and People & Culture context. We apply an HR lens to agility, rather than simply copying IT agile frameworks into P&C teams. You’ll learn how to adapt agile ways of working to different HR value streams, team maturity levels, and organisational contexts, while building shared Agile HR language with your peers. We often see HR teams struggle when they’ve tried to adopt an IT-agile approach, and many come to us after a couple of years looking to refresh and reframe what agility means in an HR context.

Which training should I choose if I want practical tools I can use immediately in my HR work?

All our training provides practical tools and takeaways that you can use immediately in your HR work. Design Thinking in HR and Agile Ways of Working are team-based training that equip the whole team with practical tools, methods, and ways of working to bring agile and human-centric practices into everyday HR work.
Read moreMany of our customers use them as consecutive trainings. Design Thinking in HR builds the foundations for discovery and human-centric design, while Agile Ways of Working helps the team turn those ideas into delivery – working incrementally, learning through feedback, and creating value step by step.

However, if you are looking for in-depth and comprehensive training in Agile HR, we recommend our Agile HR Certified Practitioner. This program will provide you with the full complement of tools and the understanding needed to apply and master Agile in your HR work.

Which program is best if I want to lead Agile HR transformation or improve HR’s strategic impact?

For leading an Agile HR transformation, the Agile HR Certified Practitioner program is a must-do. If you are part of a transformation office or responsible for leading the change, we recommend bringing at least two to three colleagues into the same program. This allows you to use the learning as a structured, incremental planning process for your transformation – applying each module to define principles, decisions, and next steps for your own organisational context. The program builds the senior foundational skillset and holistic professional approach needed to lead Agile HR transformation with confidence. It also helps you identify what you can drive internally, for example through our Train-the-Trainer approach, and where you may need additional support with upskilling and consulting.
Read moreAs a follow-up, Strategy & Portfolio is essential if you need to set up quarterly planning and prioritisation in your People & Culture teams. It focuses on leading HR operations, prioritising HR work, managing capacity, building business cases, and evolving the HR operating model.

What’s the difference between joining a public cohort and running the training in-house for our organisation?

Public cohorts are scheduled certified trainings that individuals can join throughout the year via our training calendar. These offer opportunities to learn and collaborate with like-minded individuals from other organisations. In-house cohorts are delivered specifically for your organisation and can be tailored to fit your schedule and needs. We can also combine internal consulting with the in-house cohorts. For example, tailoring some group work around real upcoming initiatives with feedback from the experienced trainers.

Which training is best for developing an entire HR team, not just individual capability?

For a lightweight introduction and shared language, start with the Agile HR Mindset workshop. Agile Ways of Working, Design Thinking in HR, and Agile HR Portfolio Simulation are excellent for building skills and providing hands-on practice with Agile tools.
Read moreTo truly master Agile HR, we recommend enrolling the whole team in our Agile HR Certified Practitioner training, which can also be delivered internally. We see strong results when cross-functional HR leadership teams, HR CoE leaders, and process or product owners come together for the program. It builds shared trust, language, and understanding, making change easier through the power of many minds. We have also seen domain expert teams, such as Talent Acquisition teams, significantly improve their performance after completing the program together and being supported to shift towards an agile teamwork model. In one case, a TA team improved efficiency by 72% over nine months.

Do you offer training specifically for HR leaders, people leaders or senior stakeholders?

Yes. We offer a range of training options for senior stakeholders and people leaders, although not all of them are listed on this page. Agile HR for Leaders, Leading Agile Work in HR, and Agile HR Portfolio Simulation are designed as shorter interventions for HR leaders who need to lead agile people operations and agile transformations. These programs take a clear leadership lens and are facilitated by experienced HR leaders who have been in the same position as the learners. For a more in-depth Agile training for people leaders, we recommend Strategy & Portfolio.

Can the in-house training be connected to our organisation’s wider agile transformation, HR operating model or change program?

Yes. In-house training can be tailored to connect directly with your wider agile change, which is a great way to boost engagement and adoption of agile ways of working. We also support enterprise and mid-market HR teams with agile transformation, HR operating model redesign, quarterly prioritisation, and Agile HR leadership development. We are a full stack Agile P&C partner. Email us to learn more

How do we decide whether our team needs a beginner session, a skill building workshop, a gamified simulation or a certified program?

Choose a beginner session if your team needs shared understanding and inspiration.


Choose a skill building workshop for a more hands-on approach focused on specific tools and practical application. Participants walk away with a skillset they can start using straight away, and with the right facilitation and support this leads to meaningful deployment.

Choose a certified program if your team needs deeper capability, assessment, and evidence they can apply Agile HR in practice. This is the right choice if you want to make a serious investment and start building agility at scale.
