# What is the Nexus Sprint Goal, and how is it formulated?

The [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) [Sprint Goal](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/sprint-goal/) is formulated during the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) [Sprint Planning](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/sprint-planning/) event and serves as a single objective for the entire [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/). It represents the sum of all the work and Sprint Goals of the Scrum Teams within the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/). This overarching goal creates [Coherence](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/coherent-coherence/) and focus for the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) during the Sprint by encouraging all Scrum Teams to collaborate towards a common objective rather than working on separate initiatives.

This collaborative approach ensures that all teams within the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) are aligned and moving in the same direction. By focusing on a single [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) [Sprint Goal](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/sprint-goal/), teams can prioritise their work to support the overall objective, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose. This alignment not only enhances productivity but also helps to mitigate risks and dependencies that might arise from teams working in isolation.
