Hey
everybody! I passed my SAFE 5.0 Scrum Master certification exam retake on
Memorial Day! I was so happy that this was over because it was a much harder
retake exam than I expected.
I scored a
measly 13% on my experiencing program increment (PI) section the first time so
I spent a lot of time reading that. I also researched the swim lane, product
owner, product management, DevOps CALMR and wrote down the Agile Manifesto
every single day to retain that information. And STILL it was hard!
As
an economics major, Certified Scrum Master (CSM) and Project Management
Professional (PMP), I will tell you that SAFe is NOT an entry-level scrum certification.
I would recommend that you take the CSM first and work in a SAFe environment. If
you cannot do those things, I would recommend taking an introductory SAFe
course first to learn the concepts independent of the pressure to pass the
exam!
I
am very happy to end the month of May on a very high note. I went from having a
very weird interview with a lady who had a major attitude, was all over the
place but peaked my interest combining lean with project management to my
learning that this combination was scaled agile framework (SAFE) to finding a
50% off exam prep course on Eventbrite to failing my first time to earning this
SAFe Scrum Master certification!
