SAFe® Scrum Master Certification
Applying the Scrum Master role within a SAFe® enterprise With SAFe®6 Scrum Master Certification
Summary
Build your skills as a high-performing team member of an Agile Release Train (ART)—and prepare to support the facilitation of team and program events— when you become a SAFe® 6 Scrum Master (SSM).
