Scaling Scrum: Scrum of Scrums Guide
The Scrum of Scrums (SoS) is a scaling mechanism used in Scrum methodology which helps to coordinate several Scrum teams towards achieving a common goal.
Importance: SoS is important as it aids in managing larger projects with numerous Scrum teams. It facilitates communication, integration, and coordination, and helps in resolving issues that are beyond a single team's scope.
Working: In SoS, Scrum Masters or representatives from each team meet daily (or as needed) to discuss their progress, plans, and issues. The meeting is similar to the Daily Scrum but at a larger scale. Issues identified are taken up by the concerned teams for resolution.
