I don’t know if there is a really good description, but I found this article that talks about how LEGO uses it and why. https://velocityagile.substack.com/p/lego-using-big-room-planning-to-calm

When I did it, it was less regimented: we got everyone in a room for a whole day, making out teams’ right plans and dependencies on a physical wall, using pieces of string to show dependencies. It was not only fun to do but helped everyone get a better understanding of what was going on and avoided some dependencies that would have bitten us in the butt without this. I’d post a picture if I could :)

Have you ever tried Big Room Planning? I first observed it at LEGO, and then tried it with all of the Tech teams at King. Definitely interesting, but also hard to do.
