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.
