The Nexus framework is designed to help three or more Scrum teams work together effectively to develop a single product, most commonly a software product. It addresses the challenges of coordinating large numbers of people and multiple teams in software development. By providing a structured approach, Nexus helps maintain alignment and Coherence across all teams involved in the Project, ensuring that everyone works towards common goals.
Nexus, described as “the exoskeleton of scaled Scrum” by Ken Schwaber, offers guidance on planning, reviewing, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. It achieves this through short Sprints with regular Refinement, planning sessions, reviews, and retrospectives, leading to an integrated Increment of potentially releasable software. Additionally, it manages the dependencies inherent in complex software development with multiple teams, facilitating smooth collaboration and integration.
