Introduction

In this two-day course, attendees will gain an understanding of the role of a 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 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.

After you finish the course, you have 30 days from the course completion date to complete your exam.

Professional Development Units (PDUs) 15.
