Agenda for Agile HR Training
This training bridges the world of HR and agility. You’ll explore the key shifts in thinking and action that make HR an enabler of true business agility. Whether you’re in talent, operations, or L&D — this is your starting point for Agile HR.
1. Agile Basics for HR
Get grounded in the agile mindset, values, and principles. Learn how agile frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, and Design Thinking apply to HR work and why short iterations, customer-centricity, and feedback loops are essential for HR innovation.
2. From Traditional HR to Agile HR
Explore the paradigm shift from compliance-focused HR to value-driven HR. Understand how Agile HR redefines roles, promotes collaboration, and drives a culture of experimentation. Discover how HR can shift from enforcing policies to co-creating meaningful people solutions.
3. Agile HR Products & Tools
Discover how to build Agile HR products that deliver end-to-end value. Work with user personas, employee journey maps, and OKRs to co-create initiatives that matter. Visualize your work using HR Kanban boards and adopt iterative development in your daily HR operations.
Design Sprint: Work hands-on with user-centered tools to co-create a relevant Agile HR solution that solves a real challenge in your context.
4. Feedback, Metrics & Value
Learn how to measure what truly matters in Agile HR. Use metrics like Net Promoter Score (NPS), team health checks, lead time, and cycle time to monitor progress and value delivery. Understand how feedback loops can fuel continuous improvement in HR services and culture.
5. HR’s Role in Organizational Agility
Examine the evolving role of HR as a catalyst for agile transformation. Understand how HR can promote psychological safety, team autonomy, and adaptive leadership. Shift from managing systems to designing cultures where people can thrive.
Agile Simulation: Participate in a dynamic, interactive simulation to experience agile collaboration, decision-making, and customer orientation in action.

Agenda for the Agile HR Level 2 Workshop
Level 2 is all about applying what you learned in Level 1. Bring at least six months’ experience running HR Kanban or agile HR initiatives—then sharpen your practice with peer exchange, advanced metrics, and scaling techniques.
1. Kick-off & Board Exchange
Share your current Kanban boards, wins, and hurdles. We set shared learning goals and build a course backlog.
2. Advanced Kanban Practices
Pull systems, replenishment policies, swim-lanes, blocker clustering—make your board reflect reality and drive flow.
3. Data-Driven Decision-Making
Read CFDs, build cycle-time scatterplots, and run Monte-Carlo forecasts to give HR true delivery predictability.
4. Handling Real-World Challenges
Tackle dependencies, multi-tasking, priority clashes. Design experiments to break bottlenecks and cut lead time.
5. Learning from Peers & Flow-Focused Retros
Kanban clinic: each participant presents a problem; the group co-creates solutions. Practise retrospectives that target flow.
6. Scaling Kanban
Dive into Portfolio Kanban, Flight Levels, SLAs, and service-delivery reviews to keep multiple HR streams aligned.
7. Action Plan & Next-90-Day Experiments
Refine your board, define metrics to watch, and leave with a 90-day roadmap for continuous HR flow improvement.
