What is the purpose of the Nexus Integration Team?

The Nexus Integration Team's primary function is to ensure accountability for the production of an Integrated Increment. This involves coordinating the efforts of multiple Scrum Teams so that they can work together effectively to produce a cohesive and working output that meets the defined criteria of quality and completeness.

The Nexus framework introduces the concept of a Nexus Integration Team to oversee this collaborative effort. This team is essential for managing dependencies, ensuring that integration occurs frequently and thoroughly, and maintaining transparency throughout the integration process. By being responsible for the Integrated Increment, they help synchronize the work of all Scrum Teams involved, facilitating better alignment and purpose toward shared goals.

This focus on accountability helps ensure that integration is not treated as an afterthought but is built into the development lifecycle, ultimately leading to a more reliable and effective product delivery.
