Swarming

A collaborative practice where several team members pause their individual tasks to work together intensively on removing a specific blocker.

Key Points

  • Used when a blocker threatens flow, sprint goals, or critical delivery.
  • Short-lived and focused: the team swarms until the obstacle is cleared, then resumes normal work.
  • Cross-functional participation allows rapid diagnosis and resolution.
  • Improves throughput and learning but requires coordination to avoid excessive context switching.

Example

Mid-sprint, the CI pipeline fails and blocks all merges. Two developers, a tester, and a DevOps engineer swarm to investigate logs, roll back a plugin, and fix a configuration issue. Once the pipeline is restored, they return to their original tasks.

PMP Example Question

  1. Pair programming
  2. Swarming
  3. Daily standup
  4. Kanban replenishment

Correct Answer: B — Swarming

Explanation: Swarming is when several team members collectively focus on eliminating a specific impediment to restore flow.
