# What is the Nexus Integration Team accountable for in the Nexus framework?

The [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) Integration Team is a new accountability introduced by the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) framework, and they are accountable for ensuring that an integrated [Increment](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/increment/) is produced at least every Sprint. This team acts as a specialised [Scrum Team](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/scrum-team/) within the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) framework, with specific responsibilities aimed at maintaining integration across multiple teams. Their primary focus is to manage and resolve issues that arise from integrating work done by various Scrum Teams, ensuring that the overall product development process remains cohesive and efficient.

An integrated [Increment](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/increment/) means that the combined work of all teams is consistently reviewed, merged, and verified to ensure it meets the quality standards and goals set out in the [Product Backlog](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/a-scrum-artifact-that-consists-of-an-ordered-list-of-the-work-to-be-done-in-order-to-create-maintain-and-sustain-a-product-managed-by-the-product-owner/). By having this dedicated team, the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) framework aims to streamline the complexities of scaled development, reducing the risk of integration issues that could delay progress or degrade the quality of the final product.
