Discover Scrum in a SAFe context!

You are a Scrum Master and know how to work with your team. What is different about the role of a Scrum Master in a SAFe environment? When your organization decides to implement SAFe, your responsibilities change. Maybe you haven't worked in an Agile way yet and all of a sudden, there's SAFe! This 2-day training takes you on a journey through SAFe, specially tailored to your needs as a Scrum Master.

This training is perfect for

The SSM is perfect for Scrum Masters who (will) work in a SAFe environment. The training is also very suitable for Team Leads and SAFe Release Train Engineers. To get the most out of this training, it is essential that you know what Agile, Scrum, Kanban and eXtreme Programming (XP) are and you have experience with software and/or hardware development processes. If you are still at the beginning of your Agile journey, the Agile Foundation or our Scrum Master courses may be of more use to you.

What do you learn during the SAFe 5 Scrum Master (SSM)?

During this training, you discover how to build high performing Agile teams using servant leadership and coaching techniques.
