swarm

A collaborative technique where several team members converge to focus on a single problem or work item together until it is solved or unblocked.

Key Points

  • Brings multiple team members together to address one high-priority issue or task.
  • Encourages cross-functional collaboration beyond usual role boundaries.
  • Often time-boxed and ends when the item is resolved or meets the Definition of Done.
  • Used to speed flow, remove blockers, and reduce cycle time for critical work.

Example

Mid-sprint, a production defect impacts key customers. The developer, tester, product owner, and DevOps engineer pause their other work to swarm the defect: they investigate together, pair on a fix, verify it, and release a patch the same day.
