I’m SAFe 4 Certified, What do I need to Make Sure My Certificate is up to date?

SAFe 4.6 is an update to the already available SAFe version 4 framework, there is no new certification. This means that everyone certified on SAFe version 4 – whether it was 4.0, 4.5, or 4.6 receives the SAFe 4 certification and SAFe 4 Digital Badge. If you are SAFe 4 certified you will not need to retest or take any classes to update your SAFe certification. The most up-to-date certification available is a SAFe 4 Certification based on the Scaled Agile version 4 Framework.

What’s the difference between upgrade and update?

An upgrade is when we release a significantly changed version of the Scaled Agile Framework. We would provide an upgrade path which would potentially require you to take a new exam to earn the new version of the SAFe certifications and Digital Badge.

Updates happen when we make some changes to the existing version of the framework. For example, we are currently using version 4 of SAFe and SAFe 4.5 and 4.6 have been updates to version 4. Updates do not require you to retest or retake a class as you already have the most up to date certification available, SAFe 4 certification.

Note: Framework updates and upgrades are designed to be backwards compatible.

Why is it SAFe 4.6 and not SAFe 5.0?

While 4.6 adds information to the framework, it does not constitute a large enough shift to warrant a major version change with all that implies.

I took Pre-conference Training at the SAFe Summit, When can I Certify?
