SAFe® Scrum Master | Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) *Remote Delivery*

Course Description:

SAFe® Scrum Master | Applying the Scrum Master role within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) enterprise

Leading SAFe® | Applying a Lean-Agile mindset with SAFe with SAFe® 5 Scrum Master Certification Based on version 5.1 of SAFe

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 will also 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.

The following individuals will benefit from this course:

• New Scrum Masters who need to perform the role
