October 21, 2021

View slides

The complexities of product delivery require coordination using both a framework and tools that work together, allowing you to effectively integrate multiple teams who are working on the same product.

The Nexus framework for scaling Scrum can help minimize cross-team dependency while continuing to adhere to the principles of Scrum, and the Atlassian tools can help teams organize your projects and collaborate with ease - provide one source of the truth.

SmoothApps, Fringe Technology and Scrum.org collaborated on a site that shows steps to take to unify your team to one Nexus, and walks you through step-by-step how you can easily configure your own Atlassian Jira and Confluence products to enable your Nexus!
