Scrum Exam SPS Topic 2 Question 17 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's SPS exam
Question #: 17
Topic #: 2
[All SPS Questions]

Scenario A: Nexus Sprint Review with Five Scrum Teams

There are five Scrum Teams working on a product. During the Nexus Sprint Review, the teams

present the results of the Sprint. After introductions, each team takes time to present their work

for inspection by individually showing the new features they have built. They are not using a

shared environment. The stakeholders do not provide much feedback. The event ends and

people filter out of the room.

What could help this Nexus create a single Integrated Increment for inspection at the Nexus

Sprint Review?

(choose the best answer)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

The Nexus framework is a way of scaling Scrum for multiple teams working on a single product. The Nexus framework uses Scrum as its building block and extends it only where necessary to minimize and manage dependencies between teams 12. The Nexus framework defines the accountabilities, events, and artifacts that bind and weave together the work of the teams in a Nexus 12. One of the key roles in the Nexus framework is the Nexus Integration Team, which is a team of people who are responsible for coordinating, coaching, and supervising the integration of the work done by the Scrum Teams in the Nexus 21.

The purpose of the Nexus Integration Team is to:

Raise transparency. This is answer A. This is a valid answer because the Nexus Integration Team is responsible for raising transparency across the Nexus 213. Transparency is one of the pillars of empiricism, which is the principle of making decisions based on observation, inspection, and adaptation 12. The Nexus Integration Team helps to raise transparency by facilitating the Nexus events, such as the Nexus Sprint Planning, the Nexus Daily Scrum, the Nexus Sprint Review, and the Nexus Sprint Retrospective 213. The Nexus Integration Team also helps to raise transparency by visualizing the Nexus Sprint Backlog, which is a representation of the work across the Nexus that has dependencies 213. The Nexus Integration Team also helps to raise transparency by communicating and collaborating with the stakeholders, the Product Owner, and the Scrum Teams 213.

Be accountable that an Integrated Increment is produced. This is answer C. This is a valid answer because the Nexus Integration Team is accountable that an Integrated Increment is produced 214. The Integrated Increment is the integrated aggregation of all work completed by all the Scrum Teams in a Nexus 124. The Integrated Increment is the potentially releasable outcome of the Sprint, which means it meets the quality standards and expectations of the stakeholders 124. The Nexus Integration Team is accountable that an Integrated Increment is produced by ensuring that the work done by the Scrum Teams meets the Definition of Done, which is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product 214. The Nexus Integration Team is also accountable that an Integrated Increment is produced by helping the Scrum Teams to identify and resolve any integration issues or dependencies that may affect the quality and delivery of the product 214.

The other two answers are not correct because:

Manage the Nexus. This is answer B. This is not a valid answer because the Nexus Integration Team is not the manager of the Nexus. The Nexus Integration Team is a role that consists of the Scrum Master, the Product Owner, and other members who are responsible for coordinating, coaching, and supervising the integration of the work done by the Scrum Teams in the Nexus 211. The Nexus Integration Team does not manage or control the Nexus, but rather supports and enables the Nexus 211. The Nexus is self-organizing and autonomous, which means it decides how to do its work and what work to do 124.

Integrate the work of the Scrum Teams. This is answer D. This is not a valid answer because the Nexus Integration Team is not the one who integrates the work of the Scrum Teams. The Nexus Integration Team is a role that consists of the Scrum Master, the Product Owner, and other members who are responsible for coordinating, coaching, and supervising the integration of the work done by the Scrum Teams in the Nexus 211. The Nexus Integration Team facilitates the integration of the work, but does not do it for the teams 211. The teams are responsible for integrating their own work and delivering a potentially releasable Increment of product value in each Sprint 124.

Wow, five Scrum Teams working on the same product? That's a lot of cooks in the kitchen. I hope they have a good recipe for success, or else it's going to be a hot mess. *winks*

I don't know, this whole Nexus thing sounds like a recipe for chaos. Can't we just have one team build the whole thing and call it a day? *chuckles*

A Sprint dedicated to integration? That's like trying to put out a fire by setting the building on fire. How about we just build integration into the regular process?

Enforcing a Definition of Done that includes integration across the Nexus seems like a better approach.

I agree, we should integrate as we go along to avoid any last-minute chaos.

It might slow things down initially, but in the long run, it will ensure a smoother integration process.

Option C seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure how the Nexus Integration Team would coordinate with the individual teams. Seems like it could create some bottlenecks.

I think Option B makes the most sense. Having a shared Definition of Done that includes integration will ensure the teams are working towards a single Integrated Increment.

That's a good point, Laurel. Option C does sound like a good solution to ensure integration is done early in the process.

I disagree, I believe option C is more effective. Having the Nexus Integration Team integrate all the work as early as possible will help create a single Integrated Increment for inspection.

I think option B is the best choice. Enforcing a Definition of Done across the entire Nexus that includes integration will ensure that all work is integrated properly.
