Facilitating a Nexus Sprint Review

March 18, 2024
This post provides guidance for conducting a Nexus Sprint Review, a key component of the Nexus Scaled Scrum Framework (or any scaled Scrum implementation) aimed at enhancing inspection and adaptation for large-scale agile development. Dissatisfied with existing guidance, I decided to share my insights on how to structure these reviews to facilitate integrated feedback on the work done by the Nexus (the team of teams). It outlines the replacement of individual Scrum Team Sprint Reviews with a Nexus-wide review focusing on the integrated increment and suggests employing a "Sprint Review Bazaar" to cater to stakeholders' diverse interests through a diverge-converge approach. This method encourages detailed inspections and feedback in breakout rooms, analogous to visiting booths at a science fair or car show, thereby increasing transparency and engagement. The post also provides a detailed sample agenda for a 2.5-hour Nexus Sprint Review, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and adaptation during execution.
