The SAFe® for Teams (SP) certification is primarily for those who will be holding the role on a development team as coder, tester, DBA, application architect or any other role on a development team.
The certification will help development team members understand their responsibilities as they apply to work that they do as a member of a SAFe® development team. The SP has a specific focus, but it is not more or less comprehensive than the SA (Leading SAFe®) or the POPM (SAFe® product owner/product manager certification), as all three certification classes are two days in length and have nearly equal levels of content.
The SAFe® for Teams Certification training is the class to take if you are on or will be a part of a SAFe® development team.
