SAFe® Scrum Master Certification
This 2 days course will help attendees gain an understanding of the role of the Scrum Master in a SAFe enterprise. Unlike conventional Scrum Master training (CSM/PSM) that focuses primarily on the Scrum Guide, the SAFe Scrum Master course explores the role of the Scrum Master in the context of the entire enterprise and prepares attendees to successfully plan and execute the Program Increment (PI), the primary enabler of alignment throughout all levels of a SAFe organization. This includes learning the key components of Agile at scale development, how Scrum is facilitated throughout the enterprise and how to execute Iteration Planning.
Attendees discover how to build high performing Agile teams by becoming a servant leader and coach and how to coach those teams to deliver the maximum business value at scale. SAFe 5 Scrum Master (SSM) certification signifies that people are prepared to perform the role of Scrum Master in a SAFe environment, increasing their value to teams and organizations that are implementing SAFe.
