The SAFe® Scrum Master (SSM) Certification Course is designed to equip professionals with the skills needed to become high-performing Scrum Masters in a SAFe® enterprise environment. Unlike traditional Scrum Master training, this course focuses on facilitating team-level Agile events, supporting PI (Program Increment) execution, and enabling relentless improvement across Agile Release Trains (ARTs). You’ll learn the principles of servant leadership, team dynamics, coaching practices, and the full Scrum and SAFe framework context.
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) is a widely adopted enterprise Agile framework that enables large organizations to scale Lean-Agile practices across teams, programs, and portfolios.

It’s especially suited for organizations dealing with complex, multi-team software and systems development.
