Course number: CGISSM40

In this SAFe Scrum Master training course, you’ll gain an understanding of the role of Scrum Master in a SAFe enterprise.

What you will learn:

This course 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.
