A Scrum Master is a servant leader who promotes the Scrum framework, coaches the team on Agile practices and removes obstacles to help the team achieve their goals. Take your organization's adaptability to the next level with the SAFe Scrum Master (SSM) training.
During this two-day training, you'll discover what your role as Scrum Master is relative to the entire organization. You will learn:
Significance of Scrum in a SAFe environment

Main Agile components of scale development
Setting up Agile teams (through ‘servant leaders’)
Coaching skills to maximize results at scale
Planning & execution of Program Increment (PI)

I thought the course was excellent. It was clear that the presenter took the time to evaluate the level of experience in the room and focused the delivery accordingly.
This training is for people who are not yet familiar with the role of Scrum Master, as people who want a better understanding of the role and how it fits into the context of a full SAFe® enterprise. Suitable participants for this training include new or existing Scrum Masters, Release Train Engineers and team leaders.
