  <mainDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
    The Iteration Planning Meeting is attended by the Product Owner, the entire Team, and any interested and appropriate&#xD;
    management or customer representatives.&lt;br />&#xD;
    &lt;br />&#xD;
    During the iteration planning meeting the product owner describes the highest priority features to the team. The team&#xD;
    asks enough questions during this meeting so that they can go off after the meeting and determine which tasks they will&#xD;
    move from the product backlog to the iteration backlog.&lt;br />&#xD;
    &lt;br />&#xD;
    Collectively, the team and the product owner define a iteration goal, which is a short description of what the&#xD;
    iteration will attempt to achieve. The success of the iteration will later be assessed during the iteration Review&#xD;
    Meeting against the iteration goal, rather than against each specific item selected from the product backlog.&lt;br />&#xD;
    &lt;br />&#xD;
    After the iteration planning meeting, the team meets separately to discuss what they heard and decide how much they can&#xD;
    commit to during the coming iteration. In some cases there will be negotiation with the product owner but it will&#xD;
    always be up to the team to determine how much they can commit to completing.&#xD;
&lt;/p></mainDescription>
  <keyConsiderations>The product owner doesn't have to describe every item being tracked on the product backlog. Depending on the size of the&#xD;
backlog and the speed of the team it may be sufficient to describe only the high priority items, saving the discussion of&#xD;
lower priority items for the next iteration planning meeting. Typically, the team will provide guidance when they start to&#xD;
get further into the backlog list than they know could be done in the next iteration.</keyConsiderations>
