Sprint Planning consists of two parts: Sprint Planning One is common for all teams
while Sprint Planning Two is usually done separately for each team. Do multi-​team
Sprint Planning Two in a shared space for closely related items.
Sprint Planning One is attended by the Product Owner and Teams. They together
tentatively select the items that each team will work on that Sprint. The Teams identify
opportunities to work together and final questions are clarified.
Each Team has their own Sprint Backlog.
Sprint Planning Two is for Teams to decide how they will do the selected items. This
usually involves design and the creation of their Sprint Backlogs.

Sprint Planning Two is mostly the same as in one-​team Scrum… the team creates their planfor getting the items to ‘done.’

Each Team has their own Sprint Retrospective.
An Overall Retrospective is held after the Team Retrospectives to discuss cross-​teamand system-​wide issues, and create improvement experiments. This is attended byProduct Owner, Scrum Masters, Team representatives, and managers (if any).
