Course Description
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) addresses the challenges of developing and delivering enterprise-class software and systems efficiently. It serves as a freely accessible online knowledge base, offering proven patterns for implementing Lean-Agile practices at scale.
SAFe ensures alignment, collaboration, and delivery across numerous Agile teams, catering to organizations of varying sizes—from smaller groups to extensive systems involving thousands of practitioners. A SAFe Scrum Master (SSM) acts as a team-focused servant leader, fostering self-organization, effective Agile practices, and coordination within Agile Release Trains (ARTs).
Unlike traditional Scrum Master training, which focuses on team-level fundamentals, the SAFe Scrum Master course explores the broader enterprise context. Participants learn to plan and execute Program Increments (PIs), crucial for aligning SAFe organizations across all levels. This includes mastering Agile development at scale, facilitating enterprise-wide Scrum, and conducting Iteration Planning.
The course emphasizes building high-performing Agile teams through servant leadership and coaching, optimizing business value delivery at scale. SAFe 6 Scrum Master (SSM) certification signifies readiness to excel in Scrum Master roles within SAFe environments, enhancing value to organizations adopting SAFe practices.
