Nexus Framework Application

Why Nexus for RN

The Reinvention Navigator's current challenges align well with Nexus framework's strengths:

• Multiple teams working on single product
• Need for integration and dependency management
• Requirement for scaled ceremonies
• Cross-team technical practices
• Unified Definition of Done

Nexus Framework Implementation

1. Team Structure Alignment

Current Challenge: Large teams, siloed QA, unclear dependencies Nexus Solution:

• Organize into 3-5 Scrum teams (7±2 members each)
• Create Nexus Integration Team (NIT) consisting of:

  • Dependency identification and resolution
  • Integration issues handling
• Nexus Sprint Review
  • Integrated increment review
  • Stakeholder feedback on complete product
• Nexus Sprint Retrospective
  • Cross-team improvement identification
  • Technical practice alignment
  • Process optimization

3. Artifact Management

Current Challenge: Multiple backlogs, unclear requirements Nexus Solution:

• Unified Nexus Sprint Backlog
  • Cross-team visibility
  • Dependency visualization
  • Integration requirements clear
• Integrated Definition of Done
