The SAFe Advanced Scrum Master (SASM) training is being retired on February 27, 2025, as part of a course sunset by Scaled Agile. The SASM course provided a traditional, two-day instructor-led learning experience, focusing on advanced Scrum Master skills such as facilitation, team dynamics, and Agile Release Train (ART) management. After completing the training, participants were eligible for the SASM certification.

In contrast, the new SAFe Advanced Scrum Master Certification Path offers a more flexible, modular approach to learning. This certification path focuses on developing the skills that Scrum Masters need to advance their careers. It combines self-paced SAFe Skills learning, a SAFe Micro-credential, and a live Learning Lab where participants can apply what they've learned in real-world scenarios. This path allows for a more customisable learning experience, with opportunities to focus on flow optimisation, conflict resolution, and fostering high-performing teams.

What Our Clients Say

Pawel Kulpa Agile Coach at mySugr | IT Delivery Manager at Roche

I've recently finished the SAFe Advanced Scrum Master course and successfully passed the exam and now I can say that I am a Certified SAFe® 5 Advanced Scrum Master! Why did I take this challenge? Primarily to become a better Agile Coach. For greater understanding and conscious application of agile techniques on a larger scale. How to facilitate, enable, and coach in a multi-team environment, in ART. Adding to this is the improvement of skills in building communities of practice to support high-performing teams and in leading distributed teams effectively in remote environments. Thank you, Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson from the Pretty Agile for guiding me through this non-trivial course.
