Scrum of Scrums
Scrum of Scrums is an agile scaling framework used to coordinate multiple Scrum teams working on the same product or project. It involves representatives from each Scrum team meeting regularly to discuss progress, dependencies, and impediments, ensuring alignment and integration across teams. This approach helps manage complexity in large-scale development efforts while maintaining agile principles.
Developers should learn Scrum of Scrums when working in organizations with multiple Scrum teams (typically 5-50 teams) to facilitate cross-team collaboration and resolve dependencies efficiently. It is particularly useful in enterprise software development, large product initiatives, or complex systems where coordination is critical to avoid bottlenecks and ensure cohesive delivery. Mastering this framework enhances a developer's ability to contribute to scaled agile environments and improve overall project transparency.
