    The &lt;a class=&quot;PresentationName&quot; guid=&quot;{DC18E34B-70C1-403D-84CC-1BF117A7473D}&quot;&gt;XP Iteration Plan&lt;/a&gt; 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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    The &lt;a class=&quot;PresentationName&quot; guid=&quot;{DC18E34B-70C1-403D-84CC-1BF117A7473D}&quot;&gt;XP Iteration Plan&lt;/a&gt; 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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    What makes a good &lt;a class=&quot;PresentationName&quot; guid=&quot;{DC18E34B-70C1-403D-84CC-1BF117A7473D}&quot;&gt;XP Iteration Plan&lt;/a&gt;:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        The stories have been broken down into tasks.
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        The tasks have been signed up for and given estimates.
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        Stories are removed from the plan if there is too much to do.
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        Stories are added to the plan if there is not enough to do.
    &lt;/li&gt;
