by Nexus Definition
- A Nexus is a group of approximately three to nine Scrum Teams that work together to deliver a single product; it is a connection between people and things.
- A Nexus has a single Product Owner who manages a single Product Backlog from which the Scrum Teams work.
- The Nexus framework defines the Accountabilities, Events, and Artifacts that bind and weave together the work of the Scrum Teams in a Nexus.
- Nexus builds upon Scrum’s foundation, and its parts will be familiar to those who have used Scrum.
- It minimally extends the Scrum framework only where absolutely necessary to enable multiple teams to work from a single Product Backlog to build an Integrated Increment that meets a goal.
Nexus framework Rules
- Nexus does not change the core design or ideas of Scrum, or leave out elements, or negate the rules of the Scrum framework.
- Each element of the framework serves a specific purpose that is essential to help teams and organizations scale the benefits of Scrum with multiple teams working together.
- As with the Scrum framework, the Accountabilities in Nexus, its Artifacts, Events, and rules are immutable.
- Although implementing only parts of Nexus is possible, the result is not Nexus.
