Nexus Guide Text: Another Question
On page 6 of the Nexus Guide, there is a mention of Nexus events like this:
The duration of Nexus events is guided by the length of the corresponding events in the Scrum Guide. They are timeboxes in addition to their corresponding Scrum events.
Should this be - They are timeboxed in addition to their corresponding Scrum events.
What is meant by "they are timeboxes in addition to their corresponding scrum events"? Does this mean Nexus Sprint Planning should follow the same duration limits like Scrum Sprint Planning?
In addition to Shashi's query, I want know the time-box of sprint planning and sprint retrospective in a one month Sprint.
Besides, What's the effect of multi-phase Sprint Planning and multi-phase Sprint retrospective on development time.. Does dev team get less time(e.g. a day or half a day for development)?
I meant Nexus Sprint planning and Nexus Sprint retrospective above.
A Nexus event can wrap or replace or be appended to a corresponding Scrum Event. Scrum time-box limits should only be used as a guide for Nexus ones.
The right length for a Nexus event is the amount of time it takes for the corresponding Scrum events to be facilitated. In a good scaled Scrum implementation, the focus is always on having self-organizing Scrum Teams which collaboratively build their own integrated increment. All scaling overhead ought to be minimized.
