We had over eight Scrum teams, which we divided along product lines. That created a set of silos that stretched our Scrum of Scrums. It's hard to say if we would avoided the silos if we would have split the teams along epics.

Were the products interrelated such that one epic spanned multiple products?

Most of the epics spanned multiple Scrum teams, Kiron.
We had a client-facing application feeding into an internal benefits request management system which, in turn, fed the separate payment system. On top of that we had other products that queried and manipulated the same data. Because each product had its own technology stack, it meant little cross-training outside of a given Scrum team but a lot of back and forth to ensure features were appropriately carried through all the stacks.

Very interesting - thanks for the clarification, Stephane! Given this, were the epics more than just "really big user stories" as they sound like they might have been used to represent whole subsystems?
Kiron
Our team likes to live in their own comfort zones and do well completing tasks using skills they enjoy and are good at. This seems to work well for most projects we are involved in.

One epic for a specific client benefit would cover the capture of the client request, the processing of the request and the delivery of the benefit.
Such epics crossed many products and services. May 14, 2022 9:17 AM
