| The <a class="PresentationName" guid="{DC18E34B-70C1-403D-84CC-1BF117A7473D}">XP Iteration Plan</a> contains a list of |
| stories selected to be implemented in the iteration. Each story is broken down into one or more engineering tasks. |
| These tasks are sufficiently small that an individual can grasp its scope and provide a reasonable estimate. Tasks |
| usually range from less than a day to one or two days for a single individual. |

| The <a class="PresentationName" guid="{DC18E34B-70C1-403D-84CC-1BF117A7473D}">XP Iteration Plan</a> is recorded on flip |
| chart paper and hung on the walls of the team's open workspace. Each story for the iteration is written on a piece of |
| flip chart paper and hung on the open workspace wall. The team brainstorms the tasks needed to complete a story. They |
| discuss the story with the customer as needed. The team will sometimes do a quick design session to help them figure |
| out the tasks for a given story. This is repeated for each story in the iteration. Once all stories have been broken |
| down, individuals sign up for tasks, recording their initials and estimate next to the task. |

| What makes a good <a class="PresentationName" guid="{DC18E34B-70C1-403D-84CC-1BF117A7473D}">XP Iteration Plan</a>: |

| <ul> |
| <li> |
| The stories have been broken down into tasks. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The tasks have been signed up for and given estimates. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Stories are removed from the plan if there is too much to do. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Stories are added to the plan if there is not enough to do. |
