What is Scrum of Scrums?

Scrum of Scrums (SoS) is a scaling technique for coordinating work among multiple teams practicing Scrum in an Agile software development environment.

The Scrum of Scrums was formalized by Jeff Sutherland in 2001 as a technique to address the need for coordination and alignment when multiple teams are working on a single product or a family of products within the Scrum framework.

Each team designates a representative/ambassador to participate in a sort of Daily Scrum only for sub-team representatives called Scrum of Scrums.

The meeting should not exceed 30 minutes, and the focus is on coordination and addressing any dependencies or impediments between teams.

The SoS can be further scaled by having a Scrum of Scrums of Scrums, allowing coordination across multiple levels within the organization.
