Explanation
Scrum-of-Scrums is a coordination technique used when multiple Scrum teams are working on the same product - representatives from each team (often the Scrum Master or a delegate) meet to surface dependencies, blockers, and integration issues across teams, making C correct.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A is wrong because Scrum-of-Scrums is a team-level coordination meeting, not a management reporting mechanism - that confuses it with something like a status report to stakeholders.
- B is wrong because geography (international teams) is irrelevant; the meeting exists to coordinate work, not as a geographic grouping ritual.
- D describes a Sprint Review, where the team demonstrates the product increment to customers and stakeholders.
Memory tip: Think of "Scrum-of-Scrums" literally - it's a Scrum about Scrums. Just as a daily Scrum synchronizes individuals within one team, a Scrum-of-Scrums synchronizes multiple teams with each other.
