When several disconnected teams need to deliver sprint objectives with few to no dependencies on other teams.

Here’s one way to apply this pattern:

1. Identify one or more individuals who are strong in agile and your preferred framework.

2. Persuade them to participate in your agile scaling effort.

3. Form a team around these individuals.

4. Support the team in their efforts to become proficient (successful).

5. Once the first team is successful, form a second team, repeating the model until the entire organization has reached your desire level of agility.

At a large US government organization, an organization new to agile identified two individuals with prior experience with Scrum and recruited three others. They formed the first Scrum team at the organization. Once the team had completed six Sprints and was successfully delivering a working product, the organization added a second team by identifying one more experienced individual and recruiting five more from other agencies. They repeated this model until they had give teams, sufficient for a Scrum-of-Scrums.
