# What is the role of the Integrated Increment in the Nexus framework?

The Integrated [Increment](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/increment/) represents the sum of all integrated work completed by the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/). It must be potentially releasable, meaning it meets the [Definition of Done](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/definition-of-done/) for the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/). This integrated product is inspected during the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) [Sprint Review](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/sprint-review/) to ensure it meets the required standards and is ready for potential [Release](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/release/).

The creation of the Integrated [Increment](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/increment/) involves combining the work of all Scrum Teams within the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/), ensuring that all pieces fit together seamlessly. This integration is critical to delivering a cohesive and functional product that can be released to stakeholders. By focusing on the Integrated [Increment](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/increment/), the [Nexus](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/nexus/) framework emphasises the importance of collaboration and integration across teams to produce high-quality, releasable products.
