SAFe® Scrum Master
Applying the Scrum Master role within a SAFe® enterprise
Build your skills as a high-performing team member of an Agile Release Train (ART)—and prepare to support the facilitation of team and program events— when you become a SAFe® 5 Scrum Master (SSM).
In this two-day course, you’ll gain an understanding of the role of Scrum Master in a SAFe enterprise. Unlike traditional Scrum Master training that focuses on the fundamentals of team-level Scrum, the SAFe Scrum Master course explores the role of the Scrum Master in the context of the entire enterprise, and prepares you to successfully plan and execute the Program Increment (PI), the primary enabler of alignment throughout all levels of a SAFe organization.
As the demand for SAFe expertise accelerates globally, there is a growing focus on the Scrum Master and the critical role that person plays in a SAFe implementation.
The SSM credential is a must have certification for Scrum Masters looking to boost their value in today’s career marketplace.
