SAFe Course
Agile isn't just for small teams anymore. The many benefits of Agile can now be scaled across your whole organization. Imagine how much more efficiently your firm could run with Agile scaled across the enterprise level. While the benefits are substantial, it is nearly impossible to undergo this transformation without specialized coaching and training.
That's where Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) comes in. Enterprise SAFe® is a scalable and customizable framework for development across an entire organization. SAFe® is a proven success, with over 70% of the US Fortune 100 now practicing it. It has shown to improve time to market, predictability, product quality and employee engagement.
Certified SAFe® Scrum Master (SSM)
Applying the Scrum Master Role within a SAFe® Enterprise
In this two-day SAFe Scrum Master training course, you’ll gain an understanding of the role of Scrum Master in a SAFe enterprise. Unlike traditional Scrum Master training that focuses on the fundamentals of team-level Scrum, the SAFe 5.0 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 that is achievable through SAFe. 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 that are implementing SAFe.
