‚Scaling' became the most hyped and at the same time the most diversely interpreted word in the context of agile. The fad and the confusion obfuscate. Despite Scrum being the most adopted framework for agile software development, scaling Scrum in a way that respects Scrum's foundations and principles is a challenge. Many don’t scale the benefits of Scrum, but organizational dysfunctions that remain unaddressed through weak implementations of Scrum.
In his opening keynote of Scrum Day Europe 2015 Gunther shared the views of Scrum.org, the organization of Scrum co-creator Ken Schwaber, on Scaled Professional Scrum.
Gunther shepherds the Professional Series at Scrum.org, is a partner of Ken Schwaber and represents Scrum.org in Europe.

The document discusses several topics related to memory, including:
1. Memory is selective and reconstructive rather than like a videotape, as recall involves filling gaps with inferences that are sometimes unaware.
2. Confabulation occurs when people confuse events that happened to someone else or events that never occurred with their own memories. It is more likely under certain conditions.
3. Studies found that young children can be led to make false claims of events through suggestive questioning techniques.
4. Hypnosis is not considered reliable for courtroom testimony due to high rates of errors and false memories it can induce.
5. The three-box model of memory describes sensory memory, short-term memory,
Session 1 Lecture 2 PACT A Framework for Designing Interactive SystemsKhalid Md Saifuddin
The document discusses the PACT framework for designing interactive systems, which focuses on analyzing People, Activities, Contexts, and Technologies. It describes how to conduct a PACT analysis to understand the variety of users, tasks, environments, and technological requirements. The analysis involves scoping out the different factors through methods like brainstorming, observations, and interviews to inform the design process.
Memory can be defined as the ability to store, retain, and recall information and experiences. There are different types of memory based on how long information is retained. Sensory memory only lasts up to 500 milliseconds. Short-term or working memory briefly stores information for up to 20 seconds through rehearsal before transferring it to long-term memory. Long-term memory can store information for lifetimes and is divided into explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory includes episodic memory of personal experiences and semantic memory of facts, while implicit memory involves unconscious procedural skills and habits. Information is retrieved from long-term memory through processes like recall, recognition and relearning. There are several theories for why we forget, including decay, interference, encoding and
The document discusses the importance of non-functional requirements (NFRs) in software development. It notes that NFRs such as performance, reliability, and usability must be defined, tested, and validated throughout the development lifecycle. Ignoring NFRs can negatively impact the cost, timeline, and ultimate success of a project. The document provides examples of different types of NFRs and urges considering stakeholders' perspectives to prioritize the most important NFRs to test.

Memory is the capacity to retain and retrieve information. There are three main types of memory - sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Memories can be implicit (unconscious) or explicit (conscious recollection). Factors like rehearsal, encoding, interference and state-dependence affect how and what we remember versus forget over time. Recovered memories from early childhood or recovered through suggestive techniques should be questioned due to concerns over accuracy.
While you might think that you see or are aware of all the changes that happen in front of you, the reality is that there is simply too much information for your brain to fully process and be aware of every single thing that happens in your immediate environment.In many cases, big shifts can happen in your visual field and you are never even aware of these changes. Psychologists refer to this as change blindness.
The document discusses the endocrine system, which regulates hormones and affects mood, growth, development, and metabolism. It describes the main glands of the endocrine system, including the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pineal gland, and reproductive glands. The pituitary gland is called the "master gland" because it controls other glands by producing hormones. Problems can arise if glands produce too much or too little of certain hormones.
Software Engineering with Objects (M363) Final Revision By Kuwait10Kuwait10
This document provides an overview of software engineering concepts covered in various course units. It begins with introductions to approaches to software development, requirements concepts, and modeling. Key topics covered include the software development life cycle, requirements elicitation and analysis techniques, types of requirements (functional and non-functional), modeling languages like UML, and risks and traceability in software projects. The document also lists contents for each of the 14 course units.
This document discusses behavioral neuroscience and provides an overview of key topics including:
- The goals of behavioral neuroscience which include describing, understanding, predicting, and controlling behaviors and thoughts.
- How behavioral neuroscience studies the relationship between biological and psychological functions to understand personality, abnormal behavior, stress, and therapy effectiveness.
- Key aspects of neurons like dendrites, soma, axon, and myelin sheath which coats and insulates axons to speed neurotransmission.
- Important neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine and their roles in functions such as arousal, movement, mood, learning, and memory.
- How synapses transmit neurotransmitters and how they are cleared
1. Clinical neuropsychological testing involves assessing intelligence, personality, and neurocognitive abilities through objective and projective tests.
2. Common intelligence tests include the WAIS, which measures verbal and performance skills, and intelligence is quantified as an IQ score.
3. Personality is often assessed through self-report measures like the MMPI or projective tests like the Rorschach inkblots and TAT cards which analyze responses.
4. Neuropsychological tests evaluate specific cognitive domains like memory, attention, language, and visual-spatial skills which can localize brain dysfunction when impaired. Test results must be interpreted carefully and discussed therapeutically with the patient.
The document discusses theories about the relationship between the mind and brain. It describes how views have shifted from dualism, where the mind and brain are seen as separate, to more integrated models. Localization theories proposed discrete brain areas responsible for different mental functions, while mass action views see functions as distributed. Recent trends include mapping neural connections to understand the connectome and delineating new brain regions. The take home message is that an integrated approach considering both philosophical and biological perspectives best explains the mind-brain relationship.
Neuropsychological assessment examines cognitive functioning through performance-based testing to determine the effects of brain injury or illness. It assesses areas like memory, intelligence, language, and executive function. The goals are diagnosis of any cognitive problems, understanding the nature and impact of any issues, and measuring change over time such as after treatment. Tests evaluate multiple areas to identify patterns that can indicate neurological disorders. The process involves taking a medical history, interviews, and standardized testing which are compared to norms.
Piaget's theory of cognitive development identified four factors that influence changes in thinking: biological maturation, activity, social experiences, and equilibration. Piaget proposed that people progress through four distinct stages of cognitive development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. At each stage, children develop new thinking abilities as a result of biological changes and interactions with their environment. Piaget's theory provided insights into how children's thinking develops from infancy through adulthood.
This document outlines a syllabus for a course on Internet of Things technology. It discusses several topics that will be covered in Module 4 on data and analytics for IoT, including an introduction to data analytics for IoT, structured versus unstructured data, data in motion versus data at rest, and an overview of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics. Specific techniques that will be examined include machine learning, big data analytics tools, edge streaming analytics, and network analytics. Examples are provided for each topic to illustrate key concepts relating to analyzing large amounts of IoT sensor data.
Visual communication involves transmitting ideas and information visually through various mediums like graphic design, illustration, animation, and web design. Effective visual communication relies on psychological principles like those described by Gestalt theory. Paul Ekman was an influential American psychologist who studied facial expressions and emotions. He developed methods for identifying microexpressions - brief facial expressions that reveal concealed emotions. Ekman's work has been applied by law enforcement and national security agencies to detect deception through visual analysis of facial cues.
Memory refers to the processes of acquiring, storing, and retrieving information and involves three main stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory only lasts a brief period of time, while short-term memory can hold information for 20-30 seconds before it is either lost or consolidated into long-term memory through the process of encoding. Long-term memory refers to information that is stored for longer periods and can be implicit or explicit.
Big Data Analytics for the Industrial Internet of ThingsAnthony Chen
This document summarizes a presentation about big data analytics for the industrial internet of things. The presentation introduces the concepts of the industrial internet and how machine-generated data from sensors can be analyzed at large scale. Examples are given of how sensor data from aircraft engines, wind turbines, medical devices, and other systems can provide insights to improve efficiency, predict maintenance needs, and enhance operations. The presentation argues that big data analytics applied to industrial internet sensor data can help eliminate up to $150 billion in waste across industries through optimizations.
Cognitive psychology is the study of mental processes including perception, attention, memory, language, problem solving, decision making, and thinking. The document outlines the key topics in cognitive psychology such as memory, language, perception, and intelligence. It discusses the philosophical roots in rationalism which focuses on logic and reasoning, and empiricism which emphasizes experience and observation. A variety of cognitive research methods are described including experiments, case studies, and computer simulations which aim to understand human information processing.
Software Configuration Management (CM) establishes and maintains product integrity throughout development. CM involves four key functions: identification, control, status accounting, and audits of configuration items. CM planning tasks include identifying items, baselines, and roles. CM execution tasks are configuration control, status accounting, and audits. CM records like plans, schedules, change requests, audit results must be organized and maintained.

Many teams are not even able to create releasable software by the end of every Sprint, every 2-4 weeks. This capability is nevertheless a minimal requirement to properly scale Scrum.
The scale of development can be built up from one team building one product to a scaled implementation of Scrum, where ’Scaled Scrum’ is any implementation of Scrum (1) that includes multiple Scrum Teams building one product in one or more Sprints, or (2) multiple Scrum Teams building multiple products, projects, or stand-alone product feature sets.
This document provides an overview of the Nexus framework for scaling Scrum to multiple teams. Nexus introduces an integration team that is responsible for integrating the work of individual Scrum teams and ensuring the definition of done is met at each sprint's integrated increment. It also includes layered ceremonies that coordinate work across teams such as Nexus sprint planning and reviews. The key principles of Scrum like transparency, inspection, and adaptation still apply at scale with Nexus, allowing Scrum to scale fractally through these coordinated practices across multiple teams.

Regardless scale or years of experience, it takes a lot of imagination to picture how Scrum can be implemented properly. Over and over I observe how such imagination can set an organisation apart.
Any organisation can be re.imagined, re.vers.ified, to exploit its intrinsic potential to innovate. Organisations re.imagine their Scrum to converge their product delivery into a Scrum Studio. Over time divisions dissipate into a structure of product hubs interconnected through purpose and distributed leadership. Creativity and innovation emerge. People, teams and the organisation prosper.
I consolidated over a decade of experience, ideas, beliefs and observations of Scrum in re.vers.ify. Re.vers.ify is an act of simplicity, rhythm and focus. I introduce how the deliberate emergence of a Scrum Studio is the current way forward to re.vers.ify.

An agile coach helps teams improve performance through deliberate practices. A coaching conversation involves exploring the client's agenda, examining biases, and exploring topics through powerful questions. It aims to narrow down actions and have the client commit to specific actions, including what they will do, by when, and how progress will be determined. Effective coaching focuses on listening at different levels and considering different perspectives to gain insights.

Agile Tour Brussels 2014 - Empirical Management ExploredGunther Verheyen
The document discusses evidence-based management of software development using Scrum. It covers the history and evolution of Scrum over two decades from resolving complexity to expressing agile principles. It discusses debates around whether agile has failed or is the future. It explores challenges in scaling Scrum and emphasizes starting with optimizing individual Scrum teams before scaling. It outlines using Scrum to change enterprises by facilitating concurrent development across domains to optimize value and software development.
This document discusses empirical management and scaling professional Scrum. It argues that organizations should start with Scrum before attempting to scale it, and should maximize Scrum practices rather than adding complexity. When scaling, organizations should grow teams while maintaining a single product backlog and definition of done. Measures should focus on direct value, time to market, and innovation rather than process adherence. Empirical management optimizes software value through primary indicators and facilitating organizational change.
Scrum is an agile software development methodology where self-organizing teams work in short development cycles called sprints to build software incrementally. It focuses on collaboration, flexibility, and delivering working software frequently. Key components of Scrum include roles like the product owner and scrum master, a product backlog to track requirements, sprints for incremental development, and daily stand-up meetings. Scrum aims to be flexible and adaptive to changing requirements while maximizing productivity through its empirical process control methods.
One of the core principles of the agile movement was to shift the focus of software development to creating more valuable software, sooner. It can be expected that the managing of software in an agile environment would put value at its heart; over old, industrial parameters like scope, budget, time. Informed management decisions to maximize value cannot be made without collecting evidence of it. Enter the need of evidence-based decision-making, which is a great start in bringing the Scrum Stance to the managerial domain, leading to a new management culture, Empirical Management.
Gunther Verheyen uses ‘Evidence-Based Management’ to go into an exploration of empirical management as the best fit for the age of agile.
Gunther is director of the Professional Series at Scrum.org and a partner of Ken Schwaber.

The presentation unites Gunther's views on management, the organization and leadership in an Agile context with his experience and expertise in Scrum. It is an exploration of how to apply evidence-based managing of software.
This is the full version of the presentation. Time was too short to go through it completely. Highest value was still delivered.
Gunther shepherds the Professional series at Scrum.org and is Ken Schwaber's partner for Europe.
Scrum has been around since 1995, for more than two decades. Since the release of the Agile Manifesto in 2001, Scrum gradually become the most applied method for Agile software development. Depending on the source, 70-90% of all Agile teams worldwide say they use Scrum.
Can we say we’re Done with Scrum?
Or is the key for future success still Scrum – meaning we are not yet Done with Scrum?
The key to employing Scrum professionally is creating Done Increments of product, where “Done” actually means “releasable in production.” It might take another two decades to actually get there.

If you watch this one please rate it and do share this presentation to others so then can easily learn more about the Agile Methodology.
Agile began in 1990 due to long development times between business needs and applications. In 2001, 17 leaders created the Agile Manifesto valuing individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. Popular frameworks include SAFe for large enterprises, LeSS for multiple teams, Scrum of Scrums, Scrum@Scale, and DAD's toolkit approach. Kanban also provides visualization and flow techniques. Adoption focuses on productivity gains while transformation changes culture and structures over years.
Scrum is an agile framework for managing product development that uses short cycles of work called sprints to iteratively deliver value. It consists of artifacts like product and sprint backlogs to maximize transparency. Events like daily scrums, sprint reviews and retrospectives systematize the process. Roles include the product owner, scrum master and self-organizing cross-functional development team. Rules around transparency, inspection and adaptation ensure continuous improvement. The framework aims to deliver working software frequently using principles from the agile manifesto.

Scrum Sredom (8 April 2020) - Engagement is the key (by gunther verheyen)Gunther Verheyen
Employees who feel engaged at work care more about outcomes for their team, customers, and company. Creating an environment where employees feel psychologically engaged is key to unlocking their potential. However, many organizations' attempts at agile transformations have failed because they did not address the underlying issues preventing engagement, such as lack of team spaces, instability, and pressure. True transformation requires shifting performance management to focus on value created rather than individual task completion, and overcoming the ingrained obsession with controlling individuals.
At the 2019 edition of the Scrum Day Denmark event in Copenhagen on 25 November 2019, Gunther Verheyen reflected on 'performance' in a world of Scrum.
Scrum drives us toward enacting the first principle of the Agile Manifesto, “Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software”. Scrum thereby invites us to look for ways to actually deliver ‘value’. Although ‘value’ in itself is hard to quantify, we can absolutely measure (in order to improve) how we effectively deliver value. “Team Engagement” is the most ignored aspect of ‘value’, yet one where huge gains can be made to increase the ability to deliver value.
As an independent Scrum Caretaker, Gunther helps organizations re-imagine their Scrum to re-emerge their organizational structures, and thus increase their agility. Gunther consolidated over a decade of experience, ideas, beliefs and observations of Scrum in re.vers.ify. Re.vers.ify is an act of simplicity, rhythm and focus. It is a narrative showing a path, rather than predicting an outcome.

At the 2019 edition of the Scrum Day India event in Gurugram on 20 July, Gunther Verheyen reflected on his observations of the illusion of agility. He shared how to overcome this illusion of agility that many organizations get stuck in.
Agility is why organizations adopt Scrum. The agility an organization demonstrates outward is not just a result of their product delivery process, but also a function of its internal structures. Many ‘Agile transformations’ are limited to just creating more Agile teams, without touching the overarching structures. Scrum is often twisted to fit the old processes and structures, and its potential for deep improvement and creating a future-proof organization is lost. No more than an illusion of agility is created. What if rather than just complaining and mocking over this finding, we would see it as an invitation to re-imagine our Scrum, as a good way to start re-emerging our organizations?

Scrum Day Germany 2018 - Humanizing the workplaceGunther Verheyen
This document contains the slides from a presentation by Gunther Verheyen on June 12, 2018 in Stuttgart, Germany. Some key points from the presentation include:
- The future of work is shifting from industrial to digital, changing society and social systems.
- Agility is valuable in this complex, novel environment where old ways no longer work.
- Moving from more agile teams to a more agile organization is a challenge with no single solution.
- Self-organization works better against clear goals like a product vision and sprint goals.
- The future of agile is in smaller, self-organizing teams rather than large-scale transformations.
Agility is why organizations adopt Scrum. The Agility an organization demonstrates outward is not just a result of their product delivery process, but also a function of its internal structures. Scrum is often twisted to fit old processes and structures, and its potential for deep improvement and creating a future-proof organization is lost. Growing a Scrum Studio allows emerging an environment in which people can develop themselves while developing great products. A Scrum Studio is one way for an organization to re-invent itself around Scrum, one way to re-vers-ify.

Agilia 2017 - re-imagining Scrum to re-vers-ify your organisationGunther Verheyen
The introduction of re-vers-ify at the Agilia 2017 conference in Oloumoc (Czech Republic).
About re-vers-ify:
When working with people and organisations, I always revert to the simplest and most core basics of Scrum, regardless how Scrum has, or has not, been adopted, or the scale of operations. It takes a lot of imagination to picture Scrum being employed according to its design while exciting people greatly at the same time. Over and over I observe how imagination can set an organisation apart. I believe that any organisation can be re.imagined, re.vers.ified using Scrum, to exploit its intrinsic potential to innovate.

Karlsruher Entwicklertag - The Future Present of ScrumGunther Verheyen
The document summarizes a presentation given by Gunther Verheyen on the past, present, and future of Scrum. Some key points:
- Scrum has been used for over 20 years and is now used by the majority of agile teams.
- Delivering a "Done" increment each sprint is the core purpose of Scrum, but this is still a challenge for many teams.
- Multiple definitions of "Done" can exist, but the development team must define one as a minimum.
- Achieving true "Done" increments requires committed people, effective practices, skills, infrastructure, and removing impediments.
- A "Scrum Studio" is proposed as a contained environment where teams can
Scrum Day London 2016 - Empirical Management Explored (by Gunther Verheyen)Gunther Verheyen
More than 15 years ago, the Manifesto for Agile Software Development was created—the “Magna Carta” for agile development. And while this was a powerful document for development work, managers felt left out. To this day, some claim there is no place for managers in Agile. But the act of managing is not obsolete by any stretch in software development—it merely needs some refinement and an update in focus.
A core objective of the agile movement was to shift the focus of software development to creating more valuable software, frequently. It can be expected that the act of managing in an agile environment is different than traditional project or employee management: at its center, it must maximize the value that the software brings. Enter a new management culture, Empirical Management, thriving on evidence-based decision-making. Managers in product-development organizations are making the shift from predictive management, where plans and predictions prevail, to empirical management, where evidence and experience is used for better decision-making.
There is value in applying the Scrum stance in the managerial domain. Informed management decisions can be made if it is made transparent whether the software created is indeed valuable; valuable to the organization, its users and the wider ecosystem. Indicators of value become the primary source for inspection, in order to adapt how the software is being produced.
In the opening keynote of the first edition of the Scrum Day London event, Gunther Verheyen explored the idea of Empirical Management and the updated act of managing in today’s agile software development.
Scrum Days Poland 2016 - The future present of Scrum (by Gunther Verheyen)Gunther Verheyen
Scrum is about to turn 21. Scrum became a key tool for teams and organizations to deal with the increased criticality of software. Depending on the source, 60-90% of all Agile teams worldwide say they employ Scrum.
Are we Done yet with Scrum? No more challenges? Time to move on?
In this 18 minutes keynote Gunther says we are not Done with Scrum yet. Gunther shows that the key to the future of Scrum is creating Done Increments of product, where “Done” actually means “releasable in production.” It might take another two decades to actually get there.
Scrum Day Europe 2014 - Evidence-Based Managing of SoftwareGunther Verheyen
During the past decade, the adoption of agile has grown incredibly. But the dependence of businesses and society on software has increased even more. Software is eating the world.
The survival and prosperity of many people and organizations depend on software. Complexity and unpredictability continue to increase. Yet, many organizations are stuck with old thinking like productivity, performance and blindly pushing more requirements out to the market.
The focus of managing has not shifted to, like was a core intent of the agile movement, optimizing the VALUE that the software brings to the organization. The urgency to do so grows.
The agile values and spirit are more needed than ever, but it's time to include management in the empirical thinking.
Gunther Verheyen directs the Professional Series at Scrum.org and is a partner of Ken Schwaber, Scrum co-creator. Gunther and Ken have developed a view on management in an agile context, "Evidence-Based Management" (EBM).
EBM has its roots in medical practice and promotes evidence-based decision-making in the managerial domain of software.
In his keynote presentation at Scrum Day Europe 2014, Gunther looked at the state of agile through the lens of EBM, and introduce how to apply its principles in a context of software.
If no evidence is collected on the value of software, informed management decisions to maximize it cannot be made. Software development deserves a professional way of managing, a way of managing that is more than mere intuition, opinion and position.
Evidence-Based Management of Software Organizations (closing keynote ScrumDay...Gunther Verheyen
Gunther Verheyen introduced “Evidence-Based Management (for Software Organizations)” as the closing keynote of the ScrumDay France 2014.
‘Evidence-Based Management’ has its roots in medical practice and promotes evidence-based decision-making in the managerial domain.
For software organizations, direct evidence of value needs to be gathered on the outcome of the work; not on the way the work is performed (teams, practices or individuals). Evidence on the latter is supportive and circumstantial. People and teams adapt processes and implement practices to improve the actual outcome.
If no direct evidence is collected on value, informed management decisions to maximize value cannot be made.

Streamlining End-to-End Testing Automation with Azure DevOps Build & Release Pipelines
Automating end-to-end (e2e) test for Android and iOS native apps, and web apps, within Azure build and release pipelines, poses several challenges. This session dives into the key challenges and the repeatable solutions implemented across multiple teams at a leading Indian telecom disruptor, renowned for its affordable 4G/5G services, digital platforms, and broadband connectivity.
Challenge #1. Ensuring Test Environment Consistency: Establishing a standardized test execution environment across hundreds of Azure DevOps agents is crucial for achieving dependable testing results. This uniformity must seamlessly span from Build pipelines to various stages of the Release pipeline.
Challenge #2. Coordinated Test Execution Across Environments: Executing distinct subsets of tests using the same automation framework across diverse environments, such as the build pipeline and specific stages of the Release Pipeline, demands flexible and cohesive approaches.
Challenge #3. Testing on Linux-based Azure DevOps Agents: Conducting tests, particularly for web and native apps, on Azure DevOps Linux agents lacking browser or device connectivity presents specific challenges in attaining thorough testing coverage.
This session delves into how these challenges were addressed through:
1. Automate the setup of essential dependencies to ensure a consistent testing environment.
2. Create standardized templates for executing API tests, API workflow tests, and end-to-end tests in the Build pipeline, streamlining the testing process.
3. Implement task groups in Release pipeline stages to facilitate the execution of tests, ensuring consistency and efficiency across deployment phases.
4. Deploy browsers within Docker containers for web application testing, enhancing portability and scalability of testing environments.
5. Leverage diverse device farms dedicated to Android, iOS, and browser testing to cover a wide range of platforms and devices.
6. Integrate AI technology, such as Applitools Visual AI and Ultrafast Grid, to automate test execution and validation, improving accuracy and efficiency.
7. Utilize AI/ML-powered central test automation reporting server through platforms like reportportal.io, providing consolidated and real-time insights into test performance and issues.
These solutions not only facilitate comprehensive testing across platforms but also promote the principles of shift-left testing, enabling early feedback, implementing quality gates, and ensuring repeatability. By adopting these techniques, teams can effectively automate and execute tests, accelerating software delivery while upholding high-quality standards across Android, iOS, and web applications.

Scrum Day Europe 2015 - Scaled Professional Scrum
1. by Scrum.org – Improving the Profession of Software Development
Scaled Professional Scrum
Focused. Effective. Viable.
Gunther Verheyen
Shepherding Professional Scrum
Scrum.org
July 2, 2015
Amsterdam
Abstract
"Scaling" became the most hyped and at the same time the most diversely interpreted word in the context of agile. The fad and the confusion obfuscate. Despite Scrum being the most adopted framework for agile software development, scaling Scrum while respecting its foundations and principles remains a challenge. Few scaled implementations grew upon Scrum's DNA of empiricism and self-organization.
Gunther introduces the “Scaled Professional Scrum” framework and the Nexus by Scrum.org. The Nexus interconnects 3-9 Scrum Teams through… Scrum.
Gunther shepherds Professional Scrum at Scrum.org and is a partner of Ken Schwaber.
A healthy Scrum foundation is the best path to success before trying to scale, otherwise you’ll scale your current dysfunctions
Scrum alone isn’t enough for success.
Establishing, promoting, and stewarding technical excellence as a foundation for growth.
One team working on several products is not scaled Scrum. It is the reverse of scaling.
Many teams each working on one product is a lot of Scrum, but not scaled Scrum.
Empiricsm
From Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time (1988):
A well-known scientist (some say it was the philosopher Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.
At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: “What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.”
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, “What is the tortoise standing on?”
“You’re very clever, young man, very clever,” said the old lady. “But it’s turtles all the way down!”
Self-organization
Many natural systems such as cells, chemical compounds, galaxies, organisms and planets show this property.
Animal and human communities too display self organization: in every group a member emerges as the leader (who establishes order and rules) and everybody else follows him or her, usually willingly.

is an operating system for the values and principles of the Manifesto. The kernel of the OS is the Scrum Stance.
Professional Scrum:
Any Scrum instance that implements Scrum’s mechanics, its values and principles, and technical excellence.
People – someone on another Scrum Team, in my Nexus or another Nexus, but not necessarily a PBI being worked on by another team; person is on vacation, only one person with that skillset, communication paths within the team and the Nexus, etc.
Domain – If you are organized around business domains, there may be features that overlap those boundaries (e.g. workflow)
Technology – frameworks, DBs, messaging servers, other types of servers, tools, etc. (e.g. don’t have access to a DB to deploy your code/schema)
Software/software implementation – for a single team, execution sequence; across team, architecture misaligned to team structure (e.g. the code I need to change isn’t under my team’s control)
External – any of the above types of dependencies which are not solvable within the Nexus (e.g. a finance person is required to provide biz rules)
The term “Nexus” means a connection, link; also a causal link, or a connected group or series.
It’s origin is Latin (from nectere "to bind“) and was first used in 1663 (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nexus)
It’s not about the structure, it’s about the connections (i.e. collaboration and conversation)
Consists of 3 to 9 Professional Scrum Teams:
To interoperate, significant architectural components must standardize their interaction
The Nexus’ foundation is Scrum and the heart of the Nexus is 3 to 9 Professional Scrum teams.
There is no separate Nexus Integration Team Product Backlog; they work off of the same Product Backlog as everyone else
They may develop utilities, scripts, etc. to help with integration
This module is about managing the Nexus, not about managing in general.
The first few topics will appeal to PMs ($) and the last few are more technical
