Product Backlog

Peter,

More than one team can serve a single product owner and product backlog. The teams can coordinate with the product owner and with each other to determine what makes sense for each team to accept each sprint, based on their comfort level, capacity, and ability. However, this suggestion is not mandatory.

The Product Owner may decide what to "offer" each team, but in no way does a Product Owner decide what a team will work on.

In the future, it is best to pose these types of questions in the other forum, and leave this forum for certification and assessment questions.

Each team pulling from the backlog can follow standard Scrum here. The Dev Team selects items that they think they can finish in a Sprint. The Dev Teams decide which and how much.

What do you think self-organizing teams should do?

What does the Nexus Guide have to say about how Sprint Planning is conducted with multiple teams?

Each team can decide how many items it can take to achieve it's own sprint goals.

I don't think PO should decide how many should be taken by each team, but PO has the say on what priorities needed and can influence them on the number of items it wished to be added on the sprint.

Team velocities only show's the potential number of items that the team historically can achieve, but it doesn't warrant the number of items each team should take on every sprint.
