How do multiple teams plan one Sprint together without stepping on each other’s toes? In this episode, we step into a single, buzzing room where five teams run Sprint Planning One & Two the LeSS way.
Product Owner Paolo lays out themes (German market, order management, regulatory reports), teams select items one-by-one in priority order, and knowledge is spread, so the highest-priority work gets done, even if not everything ships.
Then we switch to multi-team Sprint Planning Two: a short joint design huddle, teams fan out to whiteboards, and lightweight coordination (“Just Talk / Just Scream”) keeps dependencies flowing in minutes, not meetings.
What you’ll learn
1) How Sprint Planning One works with many teams and a single Product Backlog
2) A simple method to distribute high-priority items across teams (and avoid overloading one team)
3) A fast pattern for multi-team design before teams split to their own boards
4) “Just Talk / Just Scream” as practical, humane coordination techniques
