Activity: Plan for Next Iteration
This activity creates an Iteration Plan, a fine-grained plan to guide the next iteration.

DescriptionWork Breakdown StructureTeam AllocationWork Product Usage
Purpose
The primary purpose of this activity is to create an Iteration Plan. After creating the plan, adjustments may be needed to
the Business Case (for example, if costs change, or the return-on-investment calculation is affected by changes to the
availability dates of important features in the software).

Construction Iteration
Description
The Iteration Plan should be reviewed by the customer and other stakeholders and, if satisfactory, should be approved
through the Iteration Plan Review. This review also gives the customer visibility
of the project's expectations of customer participation and resources, particularly if the iteration is intended to
deliver artifacts or deploy software, so the customer can make appropriate plans. In the Rational Unified Process, it
is strongly recommended that the scope and resources of an iteration are actively managed to meet the planned end date,
that is, a timeboxing approach is used. This means that the Iteration Plan may be changed
during an iteration, as schedule problems arise and are rectified.

Staffing
The Project Manager needs a combination of planning, risk management and estimation skills, and an appreciation for the
technical content of the iteration, because the iteration's contents will be decided based on considerations of risk,
the need to demonstrate or deliver certain artifacts and capability, and the natural order imposed by integration. The
Project Manager will work closely with the Software Architect in the preparation of the Iteration Plan. The
Management Reviewer should have similar skills to the Project Manager, and also needs good domain understanding.
Usage
Usage Guidance
This activity occurs in every iteration of every phase, excepting the final project iteration.
This activity is strongly recommended, as a means of managing the scope and resources of an iteration to keep the
iteration, and the project, on track.
Key Considerations
The Project Manager should work closely with the Software Architect to define the iteration's contents. The Iteration
Plan should be evaluated internally, through walkthrough and review, before being included in the Iteration Plan.
assess the clarity of expression of the evaluation criteria for the iteration
reach agreement internally that the planned artifacts can be built with the effort and time available
ensure that the results of the iteration will be testable or otherwise demonstrable; that is, the iteration will
have a tangible outcome
