The Nexus Sprint Backlog is a composite of all Product Backlog items from the individual Scrum Teams’ Sprint Backlogs. Its primary function is to highlight and visualise dependencies and Workflow throughout the Sprint. This comprehensive backlog is updated at least daily, often during the Nexus Daily Scrum, to reflect the current state of work and any emerging issues or dependencies that need attention.
By maintaining a Nexus Sprint Backlog, the teams can ensure transparency and visibility into the progress and challenges of the Sprint. This visibility allows for proactive management of dependencies and timely adjustments to keep the Sprint on track. The commitment for the Nexus Sprint Backlog is the Nexus Sprint Goal, reinforcing the focus and alignment towards achieving the overall objective of the Sprint.
