The Large Core Team

comprises the Chief Product Owner, Chief Scrum Master, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, plus designated representatives from the Scrum Teams contributing to the large-scale project.

Key Points

  • Formed for large initiatives to align product vision, priorities, and delivery across multiple Scrum Teams.
  • Includes leadership roles (CPO, CSM, POs, SMs) and selected team members to ensure both strategic and hands-on perspectives.
  • Focuses on cross-team coordination, dependency management, risk/impediment resolution, and integrated release planning.
  • Supports, but does not replace, the autonomy of individual Scrum Teams; decisions emphasize transparency and collaboration.

Example

On a program with eight Scrum Teams building a new enterprise platform, the Large Core Team meets twice weekly. They synchronize on the release roadmap, resolve a shared API dependency between Teams A and C, re-sequence backlog items to de-risk a compliance milestone, and escalate an infrastructure impediment that affects multiple teams.
