SAFe® 5.0 Scrum Master (SSM®) Certification from Scaled Agile
2-day Instructor-led LIVE ONLINE workshop led by industry leading trainer from Scaled Agile.
Course Description
Applying the Scrum Master role within a SAFe® enterprise
With SAFe®5 Scrum Master Certification

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.
