Scrum Masters /Scrum Teams Collaboration Plan

A plan that describes how multiple Scrum Masters and Scrum Teams coordinate and synchronize their work so they can deliver the highest possible value in the least amount of time.

Key Points

  • Defines cross-team events and cadence (e.g., Scrum of Scrums, joint Sprint Reviews, integrated Retrospectives).
  • Establishes how dependencies are managed and how impediments are escalated and resolved across teams.
  • Aligns shared standards and practices such as Definition of Done, tooling, integration, and communication channels.
  • Sets flow policies and metrics (e.g., WIP limits, cycle time, value delivery) to optimize speed and outcomes.

Example

In a program with seven Scrum Teams building a cloud platform, the plan sets a daily Scrum of Scrums for dependency checks, a weekly integrated build and demo, shared backlog refinement every two weeks, a unified Definition of Done for integration, and a clear path for escalating cross-team blockers to a Scrum Master sync meeting.

PMP Example Question

In a scaled Scrum environment, which artifact outlines how multiple Scrum Masters and Scrum Teams will coordinate to manage dependencies, remove cross-team impediments, and accelerate value delivery?

  1. Product Roadmap
  2. Scrum Masters /Scrum Teams Collaboration Plan
  3. Communication Management Plan
  4. Team Working Agreement

Correct Answer: B — Plan for cross-team collaboration among Scrum Masters and Scrum Teams

Explanation: This plan specifically defines coordination mechanisms across Scrum teams to maximize value delivery, which is broader and more targeted than general communication or a single team's working agreement.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
