The high-level |
| objectives provide guidance on what work items should be considered. The team should break down work items so they fit |
| within the iteration as necessary. Actual effort to complete each Work Item should be estimated. When a team has decided to |
| take on a Work Item, it will assign the work to one or several team members. Ideally, this is done by team members signing |
| up to do the work, since this makes people motivated and committed to doing the job, but based on culture, you may instead |
| have the project manager assign the work.</sectionDescription> |
