Steps
Prioritize work
Define the iteration goals
Allocate work items to iteration

When detailing the plan for the next iteration, the Project Manager identifies the work items from the Work Items List to be addressed in the next iteration.  

Identify system elements to be tested

As every iteration includes testing, the Project Manager will need also to identify what will be tested, and to what extent,  during the iteration.

Tested elements can include:

  • scenarios developed during the iteration
  • change requests implemented during the iteration
  • a critical interface with an external system
  • supplemental requirements, such as loading, response time, and so on.
