Vincent Harris Director, Talent Acquisition
Agile PeopleOps Framework helped me to bridge the gap between Agile and HR. Coming from a Talent Acquisition and HR background while also possessing extensive training and experience with Agile and Scrum, I longed to find a training program that successfully integrated the two. APF did just that!
The content was challenging, and my instructor, Lakshmi was a wealth of knowledge. Lakshmi guided me through the APF lessons, constantly relating the material to real-life situations.
I am thankful to have been introduced to APF, and I look forward to continuing growing and working within the APF community.

“I got interested in the APF CTSM certification after taking an online course on Agile HR from Culturelligence (APF Elite Training Partner) on Udemy. In fact I bought 2 courses that were available online.
I could resonate well with the concept, though I never knew there was an Agile PeopleOps Framework, till I took the courses.
I work in Riyadh (KSA) with SBM (IBM GMSR) and have been here from 2008. I was lucky to be involved in depth in transforming an old Personnel/payroll unit into a fully fledged HCM unit.
The course I took was conducted in a timely and organized manner. I strongly feel that the concepts are practical and applicable.
Both Lakshmi and Chris, were excellent in conducting the training.
The concepts were explained clearly and in a simple, understandable manner with very good presentations and activities.
I feel that this course must be taken by all HR Practitioners.
Though it primarily focuses on the recruitment area, the concept can easily be applied to other HR areas especially while implementing HR Projects.
Thanks a lot!

The Certified PeopleOps Scrum Master (CPSM) program was very informative, interactive and highly motivating. The most interesting part was getting me to give examples and make me understand the concepts using my examples.
I will never forget these concepts in my life due to this way of impactful learning. Overall the sessions were well-planned and well-explained.

There are quite a few Agile HR programs out there and I had researched almost all of them before enrolling for the APF Certified PeopleOps Coach program. The APF CPSM program is very different in the sense that it is very comprehensive and based on a sound framework, the APF (Agile PeopleOps Framework), that has been continually evolving based on feedback from the community. It provides a good way to structure the thought process around the application of lean and agile practices to the people operations.
I also found the program to cover a breadth of PeopleOps practices with very useful and engaging discussions about how different global organizations have transformed their people operations. And lastly, absolutely all other Agile HR programs grant certification based only on attendance. APF programs require participants to not only take an exam, but to also demonstrate practical understanding of the Agile PeopleOps Framework by requiring participants to complete weekly quizzes, and to develop a PeopleOps Transformation Roadmap and present it to the instructor.
APF programs are a must-do for all HR professionals, agile practitioners, consultants and coaches!!

I attended the CPC program through Culturelligence, India and would like to say that the program contents and the concepts were designed very thoughtfully taking into consideration the tranformation required in the Peopleops / HR function in the current VUCA world. Best practices from Manufacturing technology has been adopted and the concept was designed holistically. I think APF is the solution to the current HR challenges and I sincerely hope that as many Organisations adopt this for their Success. Talking about the faculty Ms. Lakshmi – she is a thorough HR professional with very indepth knowledge on all HR concepts who delivered the program in a very structured and detailed manner.

Riya Kulshrestha PeopleOps Scrum Master (aka HR Manager)
I am Riya Kulshrestha, and I would like to share my journey from being an HR Manager to APF PeopleOps Scrum Master™ from where every hour of my life has got new vision and plan.
It started with my sister’s advice to join scrum master course, and then I met Lakshmi. Be it her accent, be it her warmth, I had an amazing connect with her from day 1. Since then, its me and Lakshmi for 5 weekend sessions and mesmerizing conversations about design thinking, empathy mapping, Scrumban ceremonies, roles of Scrum Master.
Induction to VUCA Prime had set the pace for real time examples and related information. Videos and recommended readings have casted a broader vision for me. The sessions were not just about learning the concept but also having spontaneous real-time applications. We have extended the timelines when in-depth discussion was happening. Lakshmi has ensured her availability throughout the sessions and beyond.
I would highly recommend the Agile PeopleOps Framework Certified PeopleOps Scrum Master™ course to all the HR managers out there for whom thin line between personal and professional space has a smudge. For HR managers on purpose who want to architect the experience of an employee, from being a FAANG inspired policy creator struggling for its significance in their workplace.
Future holds delight for Agile PeopleOps, and a few companies have already started recruiting only PeopleOps talent. Choice is yoursJ!
