They have separate planning, stand-ups and retrospectives, but the two teams have common grooming.

The team is focusing on one specific area and does one or more releases. Feature teams are temporary and are put together by the skills needed to solve the task.For all developers I organized a monthly hack day and last Friday every month we have a tech talk. I have been involved in organizing a joint hack day for all developers in all companies within Schibsted sphere (Aftonbladet, SVD, Blocket etc).Lean coach role:The Kanban team has its own Kanban board in Jira where a story automatically enters when a user reports an error in production.
