Review a compact Scaled Agile SAFe Scrum Master (SSM) cheat sheet for Scrum in SAFe, Team Coach responsibilities, team events, ART events, dependencies, and impediment traps.
Use this SAFe Scrum Master cheat sheet to review the scaled facilitation decisions behind SSM practice. Strong answers preserve team ownership while making impediments, dependencies, event purpose, and ART-level alignment visible.
| Item | SSM cue |
|---|---|
| Provider | Scaled Agile |
| Exam | AI-Empowered SAFe Scrum Master |
| Format focus | 45 questions in 90 minutes |
| Practice behavior | choose the facilitation or coaching action that improves team and ART flow without taking ownership away |
| PM Mastery status | live practice available |
| Area | What to know | Common trap |
|---|---|---|
| Scrum in SAFe | Scrum practices inside ART cadence, alignment, and system flow | answering as if this were only a one-team Scrum exam |
| Scrum Master / Team Coach role | servant leadership, facilitation, coaching, impediment removal, and flow improvement | managing the team instead of coaching ownership |
| Team events | Iteration Planning, Daily Stand-up, Iteration Review, Retrospective, and backlog collaboration | turning events into status reporting |
| ART events | PI Planning, ART Sync, System Demo, Inspect and Adapt, and dependency coordination | keeping ART problems inside one team |
| Dependencies | visibility, coordination, risk, and escalation at the right level | solving dependencies privately or too late |
| AI and tools | support facilitation and transparency with human accountability | letting a tool replace team conversation |
After each SSM set, classify misses by team event, ART event, role boundary, dependency, impediment, or flow improvement. If you keep choosing control-heavy answers, restate what the team should own before picking the Scrum Master action.
