Description
Companies conduct Big Room Planning to plan the work for a program, by synchronising work and dependencies between all the teams involved.
The planning can be done on an iteration by iteration cadence (as in Nexus, LeSS, Scrum of Scrums, etc.), once every 4-6 iterations
(as in Scaled Agile Framework/ SAFe), or once a quarter.
Workshop Outcomes
A master plan of well coordinated activities of all the Agile Teams in a program.
Uncover the answers to the following questions:
- What is our Vision for the planning horizon?
- How far have we come so far?
- What are the architectural guidelines all the teams need to follow?
- What is potentially in-scope for the planning horizon? What is out of scope?
- Which stories, features, and epics will be delivered? By which teams?
- What are the dependencies between the teams?
- What is the capacity of each team?
- What risks do we need to consider across the Program?
- How much confidence do we have in our master plan?
- How can we improve the planning process for the next Big Room Planning?
