Overview:

This book is the simplest, most effective approach to applying Scrum at scale across multiple teams, sites, and time zones. Created by Scrum.org. Nexus draws on decades of experience to address the unique challenges teams face in coming together, sharing work, and managing and minimizing dependencies. Anyone who uses Scrum will benefit from reading this book, because at some point you will find that a single Scrum Team is no longer sufficient to deliver your Product. Adding teams sounds easy, but unmanaged inter-team dependencies quickly overwhelm a merely intuitive approach. This book will help every team member understand Nexus better. Beyond the Scrum Teams, stakeholders for Scrum Teams will find this book helpful in understanding the challenges that multi-team efforts face, and it will help them to better support the teams with whom they work.
