 |
| The primary way of scaling Scrum to work with large teams is to coordinate a "Scrum of Scrums." With this approach each
 |
| Scrum team proceeds as normal but each team also contributes one person who attends Scrum of Scrum meetings to
 |
| coordinate the work of multiple Scrum teams. These meetings are analogous to the Daily Scrum Meeting, but do not
 |
| necessarily happen every day. In many organizations, having a Scrum of Scrums meeting two or three times a week is
 |
| sufficient.

 |
| The illustration below shows how a Scrum of Scrums approach allows Scrum to scale up (in this case to 243 people). Each
 |
| cell represents one person on a Scrum team. The bottom of this illustration shows teams with nine developers on them.
 |
| One person from each team (the differently colored cell) also participates in a Scrum of Scrum to coordinate work above
 |
| that team. Then from those nine-person teams another person is selected (this time shown with diagonal lines) to
 |
| participate in what might be called a Scrum of Scrums of Scrums.
