Scaling Professional Scrum with Visual Studio Team Services
summary
Shows how Visual Studio Team Services implements a Nexus for Nexus (3–9 teams) by using a VSTS team project with area paths to give each squad its own backlog and sprint board while a portfolio team gets a unified backlog + sprint forecasting view. Demonstrates dashboards, iteration/area setup, and drag‑drop ordering; cites a real customer with 70 teams across nine countries and an integration/DevOps team that locates build breakages but rarely fixes them directly. Claims this setup yields visible rollups and manageable 30‑day increments.
