You will run hands-on labs with AI prompting and complete a responsible‑AI review, apply SAFe 6.0 terms (ART Backlog, Team Backlog, PI Objectives, IP Iteration), and connect delivery evidence to continuous improvement. The exam has 60 multiple-choice questions, a 120-minute limit, a pass mark of 82%, and is closed book. It is web-based and delivered via the SAFe Community Platform. Scaled Agile, Inc. owns the certification scheme. MindClick provides training and exam preparation and is not an accredited or authorised partner.
