I attended Leading SAFe® 5 course in LA. I have nothing but praise for how the workshop was run, especially with the instructor. Everything was explained in detail and his experiences in this industry were shared freely with us, so we benefited from personal industry insights. I found we had a new understanding about the SAFe. I thank you for the opportunity and highly recommend KnowledgeHut.

Murali Gowda was an excellent instructor and he was kind enough to share many of his work experiences in the class. He was constantly giving tips on how to pass the exam and it was great of him to motivate the group to learn Agile and become a coach like him. Overall, it was a great learning experience.

The latest release of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is version 5, update 5.1. KnowledgeHut's Leading SAFe 5 Certification course is aligned with the latest version of SAFe.        

No. The version of SAFe remains SAFe 5. The change from SAFe 5 to 5.1 is simply a set of updates to SAFe 5. One of these updates includes a new SAFe 5.1 Big Picture, but this and the other updates, are all in support of SAFe 5 for Lean Enterprises.

An upgrade is when a significantly changed version of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) is released; this is recognized typically by an increase in the major version number (e.g. 4 to 5). 


Updates are when incremental changes are made to the existing version of the Framework and no upgrade is required.  Updates do not require a retest if you already have the most up-to-date certification available, and no upgrade is required. 


The change from SAFe 5 to 5.1 is an update, not an upgrade.

With a commitment to supporting and evolving SAFe practices, Scaled Agile is on a mission to meet the ever-changing needs of SAFe Enterprises and Partner communities. Towards this end, Scaled Agile will continually update their existing articles and keep adding new ones to reflect the updated understanding from the SAFe community and practitioners on best practices in Lean Agile at scale.

The latest update 5.1 was rolled out to the latest version, SAFe 5 on February 10, 2021. The key updates are as follows:

  • An updated Big Picture (now at version 5.1)
  • New guidance for operational and development value streams to support organizing around value, the #1 request from our customers
  • ART and Team Topologies, patterns for organizing teams and ARTs to improve flow.
  • New guidance around DevSecOps technical skills and tools that power the Continuous Delivery Pipeline.
  • Integrated Participatory Budgeting, a dynamic and collaborative process of allocating funding to value streams.
  • Specific guidance for applying Lean-Agile practices to business and technology domains, including a new SAFe for Hardware article.

More information can be found on Scaled Agile.

The Scaled Agile framework is evolving, all thanks to the engagements and contributions of those who share their ideas as well as practical experiences in the workplace. Renewal of your certification validates your interest in keeping up with the latest best practices in SAFe® and your commitment to professional excellence.

Certifications from Scaled Agile, Inc. have a validity of one year. To renew your SAFe certification you will need to purchase the bundled product which includes Membership and Certification. This comes at a price of $295 ($100 for renewal and $195 for membership).

If you possess more than one certification from Scaled Agile, you can renew all of them together at this cost. For example, if you have a Leading SAFe certification expiring on 6 Mar 2022 and an SASM certification expiring on 10 October 2022, when you pay $295, both certifications will get renewed and will have the same expiry of 10 October 2023 or whichever is the later date.

Here are the steps to renew your certification:

- Log in to the SAFe Community platform using your credentials.

- Click on the "Renew" button next to your certification (located at the top of the homepage)

- You will then be presented with the payment Screen (Shopping Cart), allowing you to complete the renewal process.

In that case, you will only need to pay $195 and continue to benefit from all the valuable content and interactions at the SAFe Community Platform.

Why you need a SAFe® Agilist certification

The Leading SAFe® certificate has become the benchmark for Lean-Agile enterprises. It widens your scope in the industry both in terms of value and career opportunities. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) is the most widely adopted enterprise Agile approach according to most survey data, with 33% using it according to a Forrester Survey on Global Agile Software Application Development.

The Rising Demand for Leading SAFe® Certificate


While Agile methods have been found to be readily applicable to small teams, most organizations today work across collaborative teams, complex systems and geographies. This requires Agile to work across the enterprise to bring in the benefits of faster delivery, better quality products and quick response to customer queries. However, agile transformation across such a large scale is prone to failures due to a lack of proper structure and processes, which results in agile implementations not yielding the expected impact. 

The Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe) is a complete methodology for large-scale Agile project teams to carry out an Agile transformation seamlessly. Applying Lean/Agile principles and practices across all levels within an enterprise is the first step toward such a change. The SAFe® framework effortlessly synchronizes the alignment, collaboration, and delivery of multiple agile teams, leading the way to enterprise success. Now in its latest release (version 5, update 5.1), SAFe promises to bring in full business agility with significant advances in strategy, execution, and leadership competencies that will help individuals and organizations deliver innovative business solutions and supersede the competition.

With more than 70% of US Fortune 100 companies actively employing SAFe®, it is clear that the demand for Leading SAFe® is on a constant rise. Earning Leading SAFe® 5 certifications from a globally renowned accreditation body i.e. Scaled Agile gives you a major lead over your peers and places you at the helm of Agile transformation in enterprises.

A Leading SAFe® certificate will not just merit a salary raise in your present organization but also offers several other benefits as listed below:

  1. Apply SAFe® 5 in an enterprise context.
  2. Deliver more value.
  3. Improve communication and collaboration across all projects.
  4. Introduce Agile not just to your IT delivery teams but the whole organization.
  1. Lead transformation in Scrum teams.
  2. Become a top-earning Scrum professional.
  3. Grab more career opportunities.
  4. Keep up with the swift-changing market trends.

The average salary of a Certified SAFe® Agilist (SA) is $98k per annum. This is chiefly based on skills, experience, organization and a few more factors. As more and more organizations are defaulting to Agile, there is an exponential rise in the number of jobs for Agile professionals who can scale Lean and Agile practices at different levels. In the present industry, therefore, SAFe® certified professionals have a major competitive advantage.
