Nexus Framework Foundations: Scaling Scrum for Multiple Teams

Scaling agile development across multiple teams can easily lead to communication silos, complex dependencies, and integration bottlenecks. The Nexus framework offers a clean, structured extension of Scrum designed specifically to solve these multi-team challenges. This text-based course provides a clear, step-by-step introduction to the Nexus framework. You will start with the core principles of scaled Scrum, understand the essential terminology, and learn how to align up to nine Scrum teams working on a single product backlog. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of scaled Scrum and how Nexus addresses cross-team dependencies. - Define the roles within a Nexus Integration Team and how they facilitate collaboration. - Master Nexus events, including Nexus Sprint Planning, Daily Nexus, and Nexus Sprint Retrospective. - Learn to manage a single, unified Product Backlog and refine cross-team requirements. - Explore modern agile practices like continuous integration and automated testing in scaled environments. - Apply practical strategies to identify, minimize, and resolve technical and organizational dependencies. The journey begins with foundational scaling concepts and the structure of the Nexus Integration Team. From there, you will progress through the lifecycle of a Nexus Sprint, exploring how events, artifacts, and modern engineering practices ensure the delivery of a single integrated increment. This course is designed for beginners to scaled agile, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and developers looking to expand their knowledge of Scrum at scale. No prior experience with scaling frameworks is required, though a basic understanding of standard Scrum is helpful.
