Course Overview

During this very interactive and information-packed two-day course, you’ll gain an understanding of the Scrum Master role 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 Scrum 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.

This includes learning the key components of scaled Agile development, how Scrum is facilitated throughout the enterprise, and how to execute iteration planning.

You’ll 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.

The SSM certification signifies that you are prepared to perform the role of Scrum Master in a SAFe environment, increasing your value to teams and organizations.

You can use all you learn here in a “non-SAFe” effort, given a proper mindset of tailoring of selected items that may not be used in the near-term.

The class is based on SAFe® 4.5 version and will run in Romanian.

Therefore, we do not offer the exam in class, instead allowing each student to take it at his or her own convenience.
