Scrum of Scrum of Scrums Meeting

At the program level, and even more at the portfolio tier, an additional coordination forum brings together representatives from multiple Scrum of Scrums to align work, manage broad dependencies, and address cross-cutting risks.

Key Points

  • Extends coordination above the Scrum of Scrums to synchronize programs and portfolios.
  • Attendees are delegates from each Scrum of Scrums, with product, architecture, and governance partners as needed.
  • Focuses on cross-program dependencies, systemic impediments, risk escalation, and release alignment.
  • Runs on a regular, timeboxed cadence and produces clear owners, actions, and decisions.
