A company has five products and are using Scrum for product delivery. Which statements

represent the best option for how Product Ownership might be structured?

(choose the best two answers)

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.

I recall a practice question similar to this, and I think option A might lead to too many voices in the team. It could dilute the Product Owner's role.

I think option D could work too, but it feels a bit complicated with a primary Product Owner. I wonder if that would lead to confusion in decision-making.

I remember we discussed the importance of having clear accountability in Scrum. I think option B makes sense since each Product Owner can focus on their product.

I've got this! Based on my understanding of Scrum, the best options are B and C. Having a dedicated Product Owner for each product or one Product Owner overseeing all five products seems like the most effective approaches.

Okay, I think I have a strategy here. I'll focus on the key Scrum roles and responsibilities, and try to determine which option best aligns with the Product Owner's accountabilities.
