What the SAFe Advanced Scrum Master exam tests
- The Advanced Scrum Master role: leading beyond the team and serving the ART.
- SAFe principles in practice: applying the principles to real team and ART problems.
- Agile and Scrum anti-patterns: spotting and fixing common team and ART dysfunctions.
- ART execution: dependencies, the Coach Sync, PI objectives and Inspect and Adapt.
- Flow and high-performing teams: improving flow, facilitation and coaching.
Sample SAFe Advanced Scrum Master exam question
Several teams on an ART keep missing PI objectives because of dependencies they discover mid-PI. What should an Advanced Scrum Master do first?
- Help the teams make dependencies visible on the ART planning board and coordinate them through the Coach Sync.
- Ask the Release Train Engineer to assign the dependencies to one team.
- Lower the PI objectives for all teams.
- Tell each team to work around the other teams.
Answer: 1. Hidden dependencies are a flow problem across teams. Making them visible and coordinating them regularly lets the teams solve them together instead of being surprised mid-PI. Every question in our bank explains its answer like this.

SAFe Advanced Scrum Master FAQ
Do I need SAFe Scrum Master first? Scaled Agile recommends SSM or equivalent experience before SASM, because the exam assumes you already know the Scrum Master role in SAFe.
Do I have to take the course? Yes. Scaled Agile only gives exam access to people who attend the matching course, and the first attempt is included in the course fee if you take it within 60 days.
How hard is the SASM exam? Harder than SSM. It has more questions, more scenarios with several reasonable answers, and an 82% pass mark.
Does SASM expire? Yes. SAFe certifications are renewed every year through Scaled Agile.
Are these real exam questions or dumps? Neither. Scaled Agile’s real questions are confidential, and using dumps breaks its exam rules and can cost you the certification. These are original questions written to the same format and topics, each with an explanation.
What if I don’t pass? Our money-back guarantee covers you. See the guarantee terms.
