We are Focused on Scaling Product Delivery

14. © 1993-2016 Scrum.org, All Rights Reserved
Scrum is a Key Part of ANY Scaling Strategy
• Building on the
success of Scrum at
the team level
• Adopting
methodologies such as
SAFe, LeSS

When scaling, several challenges emerge:
• Ensuring a shared goal is understood and aimed for
• Coordinating work across many teams
• Allowing for self-organization while still achieving consistency
• Releasing a fully integrated and tested Increment of software as often as
possible
• Identifying dependencies between teams, between components of the
software, and between requirements
• Removing or minimizing those dependencies
Challenges in scaled development

18. © 1993-2016 Scrum.org, All Rights Reserved
• Identify and resolve or minimize
dependencies:
» Ongoing & persistent
» In all dimensions
» Prior to work occurring
• Reactive to ensure that
undetected dependencies aren’t
corrupting outcomes:
» Frequent integration
» Acceptance testing
» Continual build and delivery
» Minimize technical debt
Essence of Scaling Product Delivery
Anticipation* Reification**
** The process or result of reifying.
Making something real, bringing something into
being, or making something concrete.
* The act of preparing for something.
A prior action that takes into account or
forestalls a later action.

ˈnek-səs
: a relationship or connection between people or things

Scaled Scrum is Still Scrum
• Nexus introduces new roles, events, and artifacts
• The Product Backlog is still the Product Backlog
» The Product Backlog may have several levels of
decomposition
» Dependencies between Product Backlog items should be
minimized

When scaling, several challenges emerge:
• Ensuring a shared goal is understood and aimed for
» Nexus Sprint goal
• Coordinating work across many teams
» Exoskeleton to Scrum
• Allowing for self-organization while still achieving
consistency
» Nexus sprint planning, Nexus Daily and NIT
• Releasing a fully integrated and tested Increment of software
as often as possible
» At a minimum the Nexus Sprint Review.
• Identifying dependencies between teams, between
components of the software, and between requirements
» Refinement and Nexus Sprint planning
• Removing or minimizing those dependencies
» Sprint Planning

36. Scrum is about Product Delivery
As you scale Product Delivery, Nexus extends
scrum
Reality is that product delivery lives in a broader
product lifecycle
Transparency and flow of information are
necessary enablers of scaled Agile
Making scaled Agile work requires automation
