In this course, attendees gain an understanding of the role of a 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 the Scrum Master in the context of the entire enterprise, and prepares attendees 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 Agile at scale development, how Scrum is facilitated throughout the enterprise, and how to execute Iteration Planning.
Attendees 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 at scale. SAFe 5 Scrum Master (SSM) certification signifies that people are prepared to perform the role of Scrum Master in a SAFe environment, increasing their value to teams and organizations that are implementing SAFe.
This course prepares current Scrum Masters for their leadership role in facilitating the Agile team, program, and enterprise success in a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFeยฎ) implementation.
The course covers the facilitation of cross-team interactions in support of program execution and relentless improvement. It enhances the Scrum paradigm with an introduction to scalable engineering and DevOps practices, the application of Kanban to facilitate the flow of value, and supporting interactions with architects, product management, and other critical stakeholders in the larger program and enterprise contexts. The course also offers actionable tools for building high-performing teams and explores practical ways of addressing Agile and Scrum anti-patterns in the enterprise.

The discipline of software engineering has evolved with the introduction of Lean-Agile and DevOps principles and practices. New skills and approaches help organizations deliver software-centric solutions faster, more predictably, and with higher quality.
During this three-day, workshop-oriented course, attendees learn the foundational principles and practices that make up the Agile Software Engineering discipline. Attendees learn how continuous flow of value delivery and built-in quality are enabled by modern practices including XP technical practices, Behavioral-Driven Development (BDD), and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
Attendees learn proven practices to detail, model, design, implement, verify, and validate stories in a SAFe Continuous Delivery Pipeline. They will know the practices that build quality into code (abstraction, encapsulation, intentional programming) and designs (SOLID, Design patterns). Attendees also understand how Software Engineering fits into the larger solution context and their role in collaborating on intentional architecture and DevOps.
To compete in a disruptive global market, every organization needs to deliver valuable technology solutions at the speed of business. This requires a shared DevOps mindset among all the people needed to define, build, test, deploy, and release software-driven systemsโnot just the engineers operating a CI/CD pipeline.
This is an interactive course helping people across technical, non-technical, and leadership roles work together to optimize their value stream from end to end. Attendees will learn what DevOps is, why it is important to every role, and design a continuous delivery pipeline that is tailored to their business. Attendees work in cross-functional teams to map their current state value stream from concept to cash, identify major bottlenecks to flow, and build an actionable implementation plan that will accelerate the benefits of DevOps in their organization.

During this course, attendees will explore the roles, responsibilities, and mindset of Agile Architects, and appreciate how to align architecture with business value and drive continuous flow to large systems-of-systems while supporting SAFe program execution.
This course is for senior technical contributors who need to understand the role of System, Solution, and Enterprise Architects in Lean-Agile enterprises. The course is also appropriate for individuals desiring a deeper view into how architecture enables continuous value flow and how architects engage in, and contribute to, a Lean-Agile enterprise.

“The Vets2PM program has a Cost/Benefit superior to other training productsย on the market. As I gained further knowledge and exposure to the program I learned that Vets2PM is a support group as well as a community of learners.”
“A must-take course for transitioning veterans pursuing a project management career. Vets2PM breaks down the civilian language barrier and translates the terminology for vets to better understand.”
“The Vets2PM Course and training materials are invaluable in learning PMIโs Project Management concepts. More importantly, the course focuses on helping you “understand the material” and laying the foundation that assists you in becoming a better Project Manager.. The course helped me tremendously in passing the PMP exam! I give the course an A+!!”
“Cathy is amazing, that is all I can say. For months I have applied to many jobs and had no luck. Only weeks after Cathy helped me with my resume, I got few interviews lined up. And a month later, I received my first offer. Can’t thank Cathy enough, well, I did call her over the phone to tell her how grateful I am. Thank you Cathy Walters Miclat!”
“Overall, great experience. You guys are the full package, from VetStone, making the PMI application simple, the course, a great instructor, the resume program, and the future career services, you guys are a full service transition assistance program! Thanks for what you do, and I look forward to working with you guys in the future.”
“I took my PMP exam today and Passed!!! Hereโs what I did; I took Vets2PM’s boot camp, completed the application, scheduled to test right after the class, studied using the included exam simulator for 6-weeks (3x full tests taken with 75.5%, 78%, and 80%; 1,358 questions answered total), used the boot camp notes, practiced brain dump to include equations until mastered, took the test, and passed the FIRST time.
I appreciate your instruction as Iโm 100% positive that without the Vets2PM boot camp and included question data-base access, I would NOT have passed.ย It was still a challenge!!”
“I would definitely recommend this course and I already have. I’m talking about this course to a few Marines I know and I hope they sign up for it. The more education we can give to each other as veterans, the more likely we will become successful. I appreciate this course and what it represents. I think our training to become leaders is valuable and this course translates it in a way that we can take those skills to the civilian world.”
“I have been in so many technical classes butย VETS2PM has been, by far, one of the best experiences I have ever had in a course. What separates you from the rest is the fact I can relearn the objective with the online links we have for a year to go over something I might not understand. I love Mr. Dennis he is defiantly someone I would have loved to work for in the military he was awesome. I have and will recommend Vets2PM to all my coworkers and whoever else I can to let them know what an amazing experience you guys provide.”

“I thought Vets2PM was just another training company…boy was I wrong. Vets2PM by far exceeded their word and my expectations even two years after I completed the course.ย Their staff constantly reached out to me and sent employment opportunities…there is no doubt in my mind this was a major motivator in obtaining my certification with an overall above target!!!ย Thanks to Eric “Doc” Wright and everyone at Vets2PM.”
