What is a Scrum-of-Scrums and how is it structured?

Scrum-of-Scrums (SoS) is a coordination mechanism where representatives from multiple

Scrum teams meet regularly to discuss progress, dependencies, and blockers.

Structure:

  • Each team sends a delegate (often the Scrum Master or a dev lead).
  • Frequency varies (e.g., 2–3 times/week).
  • Focus is on cross-team coordination, not status reporting.

Example agenda:

  • What has your team completed?
  • What will your team work on next?
  • Are there any blockers or dependencies?

Example:

In a bank's digital transformation project, five Scrum teams are building different modules of

the same app. SoS meetings align delivery and resolve integration issues early.
