Scrum and SAFe Practitioner for People New to Scrum/SAFe

A Practical, Actionable Guide to using Scrum to Scale and Prepping for the SAFe Practitioner Certification Exam

The Scrum and SAFe Practitioner course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to excel in Agile project management and scaled Agile frameworks. This course serves as a digestible, actionable guide intended for individuals looking to deepen their understanding of both Scrum and the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe).

Not tech bros. Tech pros.

Join Product and Project management pros Guy Larkin (Certified Scrum Master and Project Management Professional), Steve Martin (Certified Scrum Product Owner and SAFe Agilist), and Brian Culp (Certifed SAFe Agilist) as they expand on their previous Scrum/SAFE courses with a dive into the day to day of Scrum at scale.

The lessons here will help you better understand Agile roles, events, and artifacts. With practical insights and real-world examples, learners will learn to apply Scrum methodologies to enhance productivity, adaptability, and customer satisfaction within their teams and organizations. Furthermore, participants will explore the intricacies of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), learning how to scale Agile practices across large enterprises to achieve organizational agility and innovation. From Agile Release Trains (ARTs) to Lean portfolio management, this course prepares students to lead Agile transformations and drive business value at scale.

By the end of the course, participants will not only be well-versed in Scrum and SAFe methodologies but will also be equipped to take the SAFe Practitioner certification course - and the exam, if desired - with enhanced confidence.

What success looks like. And what it doesn't.

Whether you're a Product Owner, Project Manager, Software Engineer, Program Manager, or one of a dozen other job titles (looking at you, Mrs. and Mr. CEO), you'll likely encounter the Scrum or SAFe framework in your tech career. When done as intended, these frameworks... work: better communication, better outcomes, better team culture.

So know the language. Know the ceremonies. And when you notice an antipattern - see Section 6 for more - you can take quick action and save your team/product/sanity.

Can't wait to show you around. See you inside.

Brian, Steve, Guy.
