WE BELIEVE IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE

I had the privilege of working with Amit as an agile coach at Blue Shield of California. Amit is one of those rare individuals who applies agile concepts & theory within practical real-life work environments. Amit was a tremendous partner helping me launch 13+ technical scrum teams within two months. Amit provided hands-on coaching to product owners, scrum masters, developers, and testers in a calming yet firm demeanor. Amit adapts his coaching style to the appropriate audience seamlessly switching context between daily ceremonies & implementation cadence to executive strategy and agile mindset. I highly recommend Amit as a strategic partner to enable real enterprise-level agile transformation.

Jim Martin Senior Director, Operations at Blue Shield of California

Amitabh's training approach is a breath of fresh air. I and my team have learned the philosophy, basic mechanics, and benefits the agile process can bring. Amitabh's passion for building cohesive and high-performance teams was evident. I am energized by what Agile can do for us.

Amit is a very patient, knowledgeable and amazing coach. His overall personality made it easy for me to understand the basics of agile as a scrum master and he continued to coach the team and i to be more proficient. His passion and servant leadership made everyone feel involved through the process as he helped my team and I to create better value to customers.

Bob Oyeleke Scrum Master for 2 Teams, Google Cloud Platform

Agilonomic’s workshop brings so much more value than the usual 2-day training & test.  Along with the foundational knowledge of Agile/Scrum, Amit focuses the Scrum Master on the art of being a servant leader and the human factors involved in developing a happy, hyper-productive team.  Amit spent such a large amount of time up front to really understand our current state and the challenges we were facing and tailored his seminar to address our needs specifically.   I highly recommend Agilonomics to anyone looking to develop themselves into the best Scrum Master they can be.

Mike Lovelace Vice President, Vertisystem Solutions & Services

It was amazing 20 hours workshop on Agile Scrum training with Amit. The training helped in understanding the over all agile process, its importance and all the ceremonies and their objectives. It showed how everything ties together and how everything is so important if done the right way.It was absolute eye opening when it came to the soft skills required for all different roles in the agile wonderland.

Shikha Agrawal Sr.Project Manager, TechCU

Amit, thank you for putting together a class that is fun, easy to understand and had tons of practical application. Using your Real life scenarios to make us understand certain concepts, exercises through breakout rooms after topics & testing our understanding time to time during the sessions showed me your passion and commitment to the Agile / Scrum values. You made me aspire to be a Servant Leader! I would highly recommend Amit's class to any one interested in the practices of Agile / Scrum. It will be thought provoking and inspiring !

Vasudha Lingam IT Program Manager, TechCU

Amit's Scrum Master training class is unique in that the emphasis is not just on being a Scrum Master, but also how to be a great leader. Anyone can take a Scrum Master training class online and pass the test ~ but Amit's demonstrates the soft skills that cannot be taught from a book or online.

I should say, I truly enjoyed Amit's CSM training and benefited from it. I am imparting the knowledge gained from his coaching in all the scrum ceremonies. It has been a transformation that improved the team's morale which took care of the productivity on its own. I appreciate you being available for us offering regular feedback, mentoring and guidance.

Mangaleswari Chellamuthu Scrum Master, Vertisystem

Amit is an excellent Agile Coach. He brings an enthusiasm to every training session and understands at a fundamental level how to coach individuals and teams as they transform the way they work. His understanding of teamwork and collaboration bring the agile values and principles to life. Amit would be an asset to any team.

Chere Grays Scrum Master, Blue Shields of CA

The Agilonomics workshop is a fantastic workshop I recommend for managers and would be managers. It will open your mind on how best to manage your people and support them in their growth process.

Olabiyi Latunji

Amit is a great coach, leader and mentor. He is passionate about Agile.

Gbenga Abiodun Data Scientist & Researcher, South Methodist University

Amit thanks for all the value you have landed for my teams!

Anand Tomar Director of Engineering - Wildfire, Palo Alto Networks

I had the pleasure of working with Amit very closely when we hired him to join a very lean team of Agile coaches to assist with Blue Shields own agile transformation. What I love most about partnering directly with Amit, is his deep attention towards "being human". He keeps all of his work fun and lighthearted. He is a great listener and can quickly hone in on where teams and individuals need assistance. He knows agile concepts inside and out, which makes it much easier to coach as he can focus on the individuals and teams at hand. We created training materials together and conducted numerous classes together. He is a fantastic partner, a great leader and brings compassion and high EQ to the workplace daily. A charm to have on any team and an asset to any organization

Karen Holly Enterprise Agile Coach, Transformation Team, Blue Shields of CA

Amit brought a different perspective of being a Servant Leader and how Agile tools can be used effectively for the betterment of work and culture in the office..

Sudhakar Boddu Director, Exactes Inc.

It takes a passionate coach to infuse that passion, the human component of servant leadership into coachees. You feel it when you have Amit at the other end of the Zoom screen. I could almost touch it. I like that he included his breathing exercises into the training. This was an excellent bonus.

Charles Mbamuku-Nduku PSM1, CEO, SAFAM

 One might be inclined to say that Amit's strongest assets are his deep expertise of Agile and his ability to help teams perform and demonstrate Agile in a way that *actually* works - and change the minds of nay-sayers along the way. I would say that on the surface, this is a very apt description of one of his strongest assets. However, after working with him for several months, I would say that another one of his high-value strengths is his ability to empathize, communicate, influence, and execute consistently. Amit has always come as a servant-leader to every meeting I have seen him in. When he does this, he builds his credibility so fast and so powerfully. People listen to Amit because he is always kind, always a servant-leader, always compassionate. Please let me be clear - there will be many people who are *experts* in Agile; Amit is among them. But what makes Amit stand out is his consistency in being a servant-leader, easily creating positive change. He is very nice and considerate and it is always worth taking the time to ask him for opinionated suggestions.

Joseph Lin Scrum Master and Senior Site Reliability engineer - Cloud Infrastructure, any Wildfire, Palo Alto Networks

Amit showed great energy and passion for Agile. He curated the training content based on the team's current understanding/adoption of Agile and led the training in a very engaging way. He certainly helped teams think 'how to implement Agile' from 'should we implement Agile'

Nisha Sukumaran Manager, Technical Program Management, Google Cloud Platform

Amit is an excellent instructor with a vision of uplifting human values and producing servant leaders who will be capable of transforming 'negative' environments to 'positive' and 'peaceful' environments. His strategy of 'team breakouts' was very useful and beneficial to the entire class. I strongly recommend agilonomics to anyone who is willing to learn the Scrum Framework and Agile Principles.

 Abdur-Rahman Madni CRM Functional Specialist, Technical Salesforce Consultant, Marsh & McLennan Group of Companies

Amit has been a wonderful guiding light for our PBC(Premium Billing & Commission) Scrum Teams' Agile Journey and we would not be at this stage without his guidance. With quite a few accomplishments under our belt (Team has high predictability, stable velocity, has worked hard to create an outcome based user journey map for building our product with the big picture in mind, PO driving the vision and team members gelling well together!) Personally, Amit's style of mentoring has been a major forward step in my own Agile journey.

 Vivek Bhargava Senior Scrum Master, PB&C Scrum Teams, Blue Shields of CA

Amit is an agile coach who truly lives and breathes the values of Agile/Scrum. He very passionately works as a servant leader and sets a very high bar for himself and other Scrum Masters. Before setting up training with us and working with the Agile teams he understood how our teams were set up and their dynamics. After the training - when he started coaching the teams, one could really see the difference in the teams and their mindset being changed towards Agile and scrum. I would highly recommend Amit as an Agile Coach for any industry.

Anu Makker Principal Technical Program Manager - Wildfire, Palo Alto Networks

The collaborative setup of the immersive Agile workshop was great - having a discussion in the workgroup does help to understand the subject better. I came to realize that Agile core values align well with Google core values; Product ownership is essential not just for the product success but for the team success and well-being as well; Agile/Scrum empowers and enables the self-organizing teams. During the workshop, Amit served as in a spirit of a true Scrum master, enabling the audience to organize themselves as a team and power through the course!

    Making Agile and Scrum concepts come to life

    Eric’s reputation in Silicon Valley had already preceded him, but, when I saw him in action, I quickly understood why he is in constant demand. His innovative way of making Agile and Scrum concepts come to life for his students has proven to have a long-lasting, positive impact for them. Eric’s Scrum simulation make the concepts real to them and much more effective than simply having a typical lecture-only course.

    In addition to his simulation technique, he also employs another state-of-the-art teaching framework that has proven to improve long-term retention of the material. He employs hands-on exercises that get students out of their seats, talking and collaborating, and learning how to improve together as a team. In short, they learn how to become an Agile team … right there in his class!

    I give Eric my highest recommendation and look forward to the next opportunity to send my clients in need of training his way.”

    Eric has set the bar for many now on what to expect from trainers

    “I have worked with Eric on the implementation of Scrum at Adobe. I have found his understanding of the principles, values, roles,Eric Rapin supported Certified Scrum Master training and Certified Product Owner Training at Western Digital. The engagement encompassed training over 300 employees located at four locations and two geographies. Those who attend his training remarked that it wasn’t what they expected, which was lots of slides and dry content. Participants commented that Eric created a fun and interactive environment for learning the Scrum framework. I personally observed multiple training sessions and can attest that their feedback is consistent with my observations.

    Eric has set the bar for many now on what to expect from trainers, so I encourage anyone looking to adopt the scrum framework, or offering refresher training in an existing scrum environment, to strongly consider Eric Rapin.”

    Tim Morrisey Western Digital, Director, HDD R&D PMO

    Delighting both employees and clients alike

    “Eric is an exceptional trainer. He is engaging and knowledgeable and is able to draw on his past experiences to give great examples and answer questions that help drive home the content he presents. He has done several training engagements for our company, delighting both employees and clients alike and driving our ability for repeat sessions. I would not hesitate to recommend Eric for training anywhere within the Agile space.”

    Kevin Paquin Online Business Systems, Director, Technology Consulting Services

    Simply put, Eric “gets” Scrum

    I have worked with Eric on the implementation of Scrum at Adobe. I have found his understanding of the principles, values, roles, processes and artifacts associated with or defined by Scrum to be stellar. Simply put, Eric “gets” Scrum. More importantly, Eric does not only “get” Scrum: Eric is a skilled educator who can convey these concepts through a thoughtfully chosen and skillfully executed selection of slides, interactive activities, simulations and shared discussions.

    Eric guides his students in identifying those aspects of Scrum that they’re struggling to understand and helping them realize breakthroughs that are immediately relevant to their job. Eric has also performed as an organizational coach, helping individuals who participate in his training apply Scrum and Scrum core values in their daily work.”

      Elena's passion for Agile and her influence on us is highly impactful resulting in our success.

She has done an assessment of the organization from a process and team maturity perspective across various design centers globally. Her assessment resulted in a clear-cut action plan specific to each center. Her efforts in empowering the team and enabling them to be self-reliant are major success stories.
