SAFe® 4 SCRUM MASTER CERTIFICATION BUILD YOUR SKILLS AS A
HIGH-PERFORMING TEAM MEMBER OF AN AGILE RELEASE TRAIN AND PREPARE TO
SUPPORT THE FACILITATION OF TEAM AND PROGRAM EVENTS- WHEN YOU BECOME A
SAFE® 4 SCRUM MASTER (SSM)!
SUMMARY
In this two-day course, attendees will gain an understanding of the
role of a ScrumMaster 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 4 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.
