Course overview
Build practical capability in SAFe SSM.
This class prepares Scrum Masters to coach a team that sits on an Agile Release Train, not a standalone Scrum team. You run iteration planning, team sync, and retrospectives, and you help the team plan and execute the PI with the rest of the train. Completing the course is what makes you eligible for the SAFe Scrum Master exam.
