Scaling Scrum isn't about making the teams bigger; it's about making the coordination better.
1Descaling before Scaling
The best way to scale is often to 'descale'—simplify your product architecture so teams can work independently with fewer dependencies. Nexus helps when that independence isn't fully possible.
2The Nexus Integration Team
The NIT usually consists of a Product Owner, a Scrum Master, and one or more members from the individual Scrum teams. They focus on the 'Inter-team' blockers that single teams can't solve alone.
3The Single Product Backlog
No matter how many teams you have, in Nexus there is only ONE Product Backlog and ONE Product Owner. This ensures a unified vision and clear priorities across the entire organization.
