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

Short answer: Scrum-of-Scrums (SoS) is a coordination mechanism where representatives from multiple Scrum teams meet regularly to discuss progress, dependencies, and blockers.

Explain a bit more

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.
