AI-Empowered SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager FAQs
Q: What is the process to upgrade my SAFe® 6 POPM certification to the AI-Empowered POPM?
A: Current Certified SAFe® 6 Product Owner/Product Managers can upgrade by completing either the Empowering Product Owners with AI or Empowering Product Managers with AI SAFe Skill, available in the SAFe Skills Library . Once complete, your certification will automatically update to Certified AI-Empowered SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager and you will be issued a new digital badge. Note: If you are part of a SAFe Enterprise Subscription and want to upgrade to a Certified AI-Empowered SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager(POPM), you will need to contact your Account Admin or CSM for further details.
Q: Do I have to pay to upgrade to the AI-Empowered POPM?
A: If you currently hold an active SAFe® 6 POPM certification, there is no additional cost to upgrade. The SAFe Skill modules are included in your individual membership. However, if your POPM6 certification has expired, you will need to renew first in order to regain access to the SAFe Skill library and complete the upgrade. Note: If you are part of a SAFe Enterprise Subscription which differs from the individual membership, you will need to contact your Account Admin or CSM.
Q: What happens to my POPM6 certification after I upgrade?A: When you complete the upgrade, you’ll receive the new AI-Empowered POPM certification, but your original SAFe® 6 POPM credential will also remain in your records. You’ll hold both certifications going forward but you will only need to renew the AI-Empowered POPM certification going forward.
Q: Is there a deadline to complete the upgrade?
A: There is no set deadline to upgrade at this time. However, if you already hold a valid POPM6 and have completed either the Empowering Product Owners with AI or Empowering Product Managers with AI SAFe Skill, your certification will be automatically updated to AI-Empowered POPM during the week of September 16, 2025.
Q: I am a POPM5, how can I become an AI-Empowered POPM?
A: Active POPM5s can either complete the upgrade to SAFe 6.0 via the upgrade learning path and then complete their SAFe Skill, or they can enroll in a new POPM course. Either option will deliver the new achievement.
Q: What do I need to do as a trainer to be prepared to teach?
A: Trainers will not be required to complete a new enablement plan, however new enablement videos are available in the Trainer Enablement Plan that walk through details of how to teach each lesson. We recommend you watch that series, review the updated release notes and then practice your delivery with the new lesson.
Q: Has the AI-related material been incorporated into the POPM exam or practice test?
A: Not yet. The new AI-related content is being introduced in the course, and we are gathering feedback to determine the right level of coverage for future assessments. The current POPM exam and practice test remain aligned to the established course objectives. Updates to incorporate AI concepts are expected in the future, once the lesson content has been refined and validated.
Q: What is the new version number of the POPM courseware?
A: The Scaled Agile Framework has transitioned away from using version numbers. Consequently, the associated courses are moving away from the "6.0" base version. From now on, course releases will be identified by their release date in the format v.[release year].[release month].[release date]. Therefore, the current version of the POPM courseware is v.2025.09.16.
Q: Where can I find the Virtual Classroom for POPM (2025.09.16)?
A: SAFe Collaborate will be retired in November 2025. Due to this planned retirement, the SAFe courseware team has decided not to update the existing virtual classroom, given its limited remaining lifespan. For more information regarding the retirement review the retirement FAQ. **AI-Empowered SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager is only available in English at this time.
