SEF-PMP7400 - SAFe Scrum Master 6.0

Course Description

In this two-day SAFe Scrum Master training course, you’ll gain an understanding of the role of Scrum Master in a SAFe enterprise. Unlike traditional Scrum Master training that focuses on the fundamentals of team-level Scrum, the SAFe Scrum Master course explores the role of Scrum in the context of the entire enterprise and prepares you to successfully plan and execute the Program Increment (PI), the primary enabler of alignment throughout all levels of a SAFe organization.

Course Materials Included: 

Course workbook – The course workbook is an essential artifact from the SAFe Community Platform. This workbook can be used to refer back to the content that was presented during the class. Each student will be provided a individual copy.

Study guide – This comprehensive guide details the job role and all resources related to the exam, including a detailed reading list. Access is available through the Learning Plan in the SAFe Community Platform upon course completion.

Practice exam – The practice exam is designed to be predictive of success on the certification exam, and it has the same number of questions, level of difficulty, and time duration. It is part of the Learning Plan in the SAFe Community Platform and can be taken an unlimited number of times at no cost. (This is not the actual exam, and passing it does not guarantee success on the certification exam.)

Sample Questions – A web-enabled, flashcard style version of the sample questions can be found online and in the study guide.
