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

During a sprint, a critical defect blocks multiple stories. The Scrum Team decides to suspend individual tasks and collaborate intensively until the blocker is removed. What technique are they applying?

  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.
