SAFe Scrum Master (SSM®)
COVID-19 Update: Due to the current health scenario around the world, Scaled Agile has taken the decision to conduct SAFe workshops virtually. Workshops will still be conducted LIVE and run by Certified Trainers.
Participants will join remotely from their home or office and will have similar opportunities to interact with the trainer as well as their table mates. We are working with Scaled Agile to ensure that the experience is not effected - the objective is to make the session as interactive and fun as an in-person one. We will be using online tools such as Zoom, Padlet, Flipgrid and more to enhance the training experience.
Social isolation is the best way to beat the virus and this measure is geared towards the same goal of keeping everyone safe while continuing our learning. Although this is a temporary measure, based on current expert understanding, it seems likely that in-class SAFe workshops might remain suspended until the Fall season.
