What is a Tribe (Scrum)?

05/15/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

In Scrum, the term "Tribe" does not refer to the term in anthropology, but to a specific organizational structure. A Tribe is a group of multiple Scrum teams working together to support a larger initiative or project.

A Tribe is typically larger than a single Scrum team and may consist of multiple Scrum teams. Teams within the Tribe collaborate and communicate regularly to ensure that all teams are on the same page and achieving the project goal.

A Tribe can be led by a Tribe Leader or a so-called "Chief Scrum Master" who coordinates the work of the different teams and ensures that all teams work together effectively. Members of a tribe can come from a variety of disciplines, including developers, designers, testers and others.

By using Tribes, Scrum teams can collaborate more effectively to tackle larger projects and achieve better results. This leads to greater efficiency and productivity, and helps support the agile principles of Scrum.
