Scrum of Scrums is a Scaled Agile technique that offers a way to connect multiple teams who need to work together to deliver complex solutions. It helps teams develop and deliver complex products through transparency, inspection, and adaptation, at scale. It’s particularly successful when all high-performing scrum team members work towards a common goal, have trust, and respect, and are completely aligned.

4. SOS Background
A Scrum of Scrums is a virtual team consisting of delegates with embedded links to the
originating delivery teams. The aim is to:
○ Coordinate overlap
○ Conflict resolution
○ Shared services
○ Competing requirements
○ Set expectations regarding dependencies
○ Share knowledge
○ Reduce duplicate efforts
○ Encourage reuse

5. SOS Background
Teams who apply Scrum of Scrums not only coordinate delivery,
but ensure a fully integrated product at the end of every sprint.
Therefore, Scrum of Scrums acts as a release team that delivers
value to customers based on the wholistic goals (the big picture)
not independent and individual team goals.
Organizations typically use this approach as a first step to scale
Agile and organize delivery of larger and complex products.
