    The &lt;a class=&quot;PresentationName&quot; guid=&quot;{DC18E34B-70C1-403D-84CC-1BF117A7473D}&quot;>XP Iteration Plan&lt;/a> contains a list of&#xD;
    stories selected to be implemented in the iteration. Each story is broken down into one or more engineering tasks.&#xD;
    These tasks are sufficiently small that an individual can grasp its scope and provide a reasonable estimate. Tasks&#xD;
    usually range from less than a day to one or two days for a single individual.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The &lt;a class=&quot;PresentationName&quot; guid=&quot;{DC18E34B-70C1-403D-84CC-1BF117A7473D}&quot;>XP Iteration Plan&lt;/a> is recorded on flip&#xD;
    chart paper and hung on the walls of the team's open workspace. Each story for the iteration is written on a piece of&#xD;
    flip chart paper and hung on the open workspace wall. The team brainstorms the tasks needed to complete a story. They&#xD;
    discuss the story with the customer as needed. The team will sometimes do a quick design session to help them figure&#xD;
    out the tasks for a given story. This is repeated for each story in the iteration. Once all stories have been broken&#xD;
    down, individuals sign up for tasks, recording their initials and estimate next to the task.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;

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