180 days (6 months)
One Scrum team turned into three. Three turned into seven. Now you're coordinating standups across teams, and the impediment list is no longer something one person can carry.
Course Overview
SSMC prepares you to operate as a Chief Scrum Master — the person responsible for coordinating multiple Scrum teams running in parallel on a shared deliverable. The course covers cross-team coordination, scaled ceremonies, dependency management, scaled retrospectives, partnership with the Chief Product Owner, and how to remove impediments at a scope where no single team owns them. 180 days of LMS access, 70-question proctored exam.
What You Will Learn
- How to coordinate multiple Scrum teams working on a shared deliverable without forcing everyone into the same ceremony schedule. How to run scaled ceremonies that actually produce decisions. How to manage cross-team dependencies before they become reasons a Sprint missed. How to partner with the Chief Product Owner on a shared backlog. How to remove impediments that exist at the seams between teams.
About the Course
- SSMC is the credential for Scrum coordination at scale — multiple teams, shared deliverable, one coordination layer. The right cert when one team is no longer the unit of work.
How the Course Works
- Online and self-paced through the VMEdu LMS. You get 180 days of access from the day your enrollment activates, the full preparatory course, an e-copy of the body of knowledge, chapter tests, two full-length simulated exams, and the proctored certification exam itself. Mobile and desktop both work. If you're buying for a team or want help applying what you learn after the exam, an optional Trinity advisory engagement is available on request.
Who this Course is For
- You if you're an SMC-certified Scrum Master coordinating multiple teams. You if you're a release train engineer. You if you're a program-level Agile lead. You if you're scaling Scrum from one team to many and the team-level credential is no longer enough.
Individual Outcomes
- You'll qualify for Chief Scrum Master, release train, and program-level Agile lead roles, and you'll hold a credential specifically built for Scrum at scale.
Organizational Outcomes
- If you're trying to run Scrum across multiple teams without fragmenting into independent silos, SSMC is the credential that names the coordination layer between team-level Scrum and program-level reporting.
Why Choose this certification
- SSMC is the right credential when one team is no longer the unit of work. It positions you for Chief Scrum Master and program-level Agile coordination roles and is the precursor to ESMC.
Why choose Trinity
- Coordinating multiple teams under one shared deliverable is the discipline this credential certifies — and it's the discipline behind closing 46 bases in 60 days across CENTCOM. Multi-team, multi-location, presidential-directive pressure. Same coordination problem at a different scale. Optional Trinity advisory engagement available after certification to help you stand up scaled Scrum in your own organization.
